Starsailor - Silence is Easy
Among my varied musical tastes, I have a sweet tooth for British Pop Rock (a la Coldplay, Oasis, Doves, Rialto, as well as Placebo and Blur). Starsailor fits the mold, with that mix of melody and melancholy that only the brits can deliver.
The songs are catchy, get stuck in your head, but in a good way. While the band's first album ("Love is Here") wa more stripped down, "Silence is Easy" takes a step up in production, including a great many songs with full string accompaniment (sp?).
The lead singer (and primary songwriter) has a voice that you'll either like or hate (not unlike Thom Yorke or Chris Martin). What it lacks in virtuosity it makes up for in emotion.
7/10
