The Tuesday Suits: Your Silver Lining
[self-released]

Williamsburg, NY. I know this place is getting a bad rap in some circles these days for its white-belted hierarchical music structure, but sometimes generalizations (made by those of us as far removed as Colorado) are pried loose a bit. Maybe I dont exactly know everything that is happening out there. From amidst the presumed tweeded fashion rock dancing out of this area comes a true smart and melody heavy group. The Tuesday Suits already seem poised for making it in this harsh, generalization-drenched world of music, with cool, composed songs and attitude and an air of confidence.

These four like-minded gents share the same wavelength when it comes to writing songs; theyve found their sound, are obviously quite happy with it, and theyre holding on to it. Without any holes, looseness or stretches, they create well-written, pop-edged rock with a post-punk swoon. The vocalist has a voice and cadence similar to Blake Schwarzenbach, which fits the music behind him absolutely perfectly. The guitars are subtly angular yet sweeping and pretty, in sort of a Tim Kinsella style (to toss around another name sorry).

Even with these feeble references, the Tuesday Suits maintain their own style and gracefulness. The EP ends with an acoustic heart-on-the-sleeve, warm tune titled The Good Times a great closer. I suggest checking out a few of the tracks on their website: If You Love Me Take the Train, Miss Wyoming, and If This Night is Dark are great songs. Your Silver Lining is easily worth the price of an EP. Recommended.

This album can be purchased at CD Baby
