Free Music Notes for Bright Idea

Free Music Review: Fabulous Album!
Hit: 5 Stars

Every time I listen to this album I find myself wondering why Orson aren't mega artists. Their arrangements are interesting, lead vocalist Jason Pebworth's slightly 90's-tinged vocals are sexy and heartwarming at the same time, and the lyrics themselves stray from the standard love lost indie rock music out there right now. On top of that, the guys aren't afraid to experiment - see the 80's lite rock infused "Downtown", the dancey "No Tomorrow", or the 70's soul-rock hybrid "Happiness".

Personal favourites for me include their first single "Bright Idea" about a high school crush carrying through when said crush becomes a celebrity - amazing instrumentation and arrangement here, plus some insanely catchy lyrics/vocals. "Already Over" is possibly tied for best song with "Bright Idea" - a heartbreaking tune about breaking up with awesome harmonies in the chorus. "Look Around" (the token ballad) and "Save The World" (about a 'superhero' girlfriend) are also excellent choices.

Is it too early to be borrowing sounds from the 90's? No, not when Orson mashes them up with influences such as those listed above and throws in a dash of 21st century indie rock. Recommended for fans of bands like Snow Patrol or Bloc Party.
