Snappy Little Numbers (2019)
My pile of tapes to review is completely unorganized. They're just a mess and I have no idea how long some of them have been sitting around. I'm going to try my level best to get through some of them over the next few weeks as I don't have a lot of incoming vinyl to write about. I'm going to do my best to tackle some of the lingering records and tapes that are sitting around. The goal is at least one tape a week.
We're going to start off with this one by Lightning Cult. On the Snappy Little Numbers Bandcamp page it says this came out in 2019. I cannot believe this has been sitting around for over a year. But, I suppose it is possible given the state of things. I like this. The band kind of has a shoegazer-y vibe to them, particularly in the vocals, but the music is upbeat enough to where it doesn't sound mopey or boring.
There are some surfy guitar tones here and there and in general the songs are catchy with a few really strong hooks on a couple of these songs. "Pacific Hits" is my favorite of the bunch on side A, probably because it's the fastest of the bunch. It's a good place to start if you want to check out something on the Bandcamp.
While EP2: Ether Waves is only five songs long, on the cassette's B side, they've thoughtfully provided the songs for EP1: Burner. These songs are also really good. They are a little more varied than the stuff from EP2, but in a good way. I'm glad they are on this tape and are not something I have to go track down on their own.
