Generationals— Carrying The Torch

After tripping nose over tail for their 2009 effort Con Law, last night I got to check out the live show of Generationals, as they were opening for another one of my favorite discoveries of the last few years.

I was quite excited to finally see the band perform, and even more excited when I made my way to the merch table to find that they were selling their brand new EP, Trust. I’d already been treated to the new EP’s title track, which I love, so my ears couldn’t wait to lay their hands on the rest of the EP.

Trust soundtracked my drive home, and once I arrived in my driveway, I gave it another once through. One thing became immediately clear during these first few virgin listens; the Trust EP was everything that I loved about Con Law, with even more awesome sauce mixed in! The 50’s, 60’s pop influence, the sweet (and sometimes slinky) leg warming bass lines, the addition of Tess Brunet’s perfectly placed females vocals. I was crushing hard. This is probably the most solid EP I’ve heard in years, and being that it’s only four songs long, my ears are thirsty for more!
