Introducing: The EmptiesJust today I received a very pleasant surprise in the mail - the new self-titled album from Atlanta’s The Empties (showing up just when I thought all the “simple but still cool†band names were gone). Unlike most of the unsolicited promo CDs I get, I didn’t find myself rolling down the window to toss it out halfway through the first song. Quite the contrary - I was immediately caught up in the angular guitar rock, distorted vocals, and chugging rhythm of “Oh My Godâ€. The rest of the album lived up to the promise of that opening cut - “Thanks Alotâ€, “Acoustic Melody Makerâ€, and “Something’s Wrong†in particular add a stronger sense of pop song craft to “Oh My Godâ€â€™s edge. And then there’s “Flood Risesâ€, a short and sweet little acoustic shuffle that proves the band can do quiet just as well as loud. Overall, The Empties are a promising young band that remind me of Spoon circa Telephono/A Series Of Sneaks, albums that were very good/great in their own right but acted as a launching point for much bigger and better things to come.
