Don Broco – Automatic Album Review
Don Broco have kept
the energy and excitement flowing from their huge debut album ‘Priorities’ to
an equally impressive sophomore album, ‘Automatic’.
“Determination,
have I got what it takes” is the first lyrics on ‘Automatic’ and is the words
on everyone’s lips as their last album ‘Priorities’ made them into rock stars
playing huge venues, how could they top it? Determined to prove they are not
just a one trick pony, Don Broco have come back with their high energy yet
smooth style. Opening tracks of ‘Super Love’, ‘Automatic’ and ‘What You Do To
Me’ instantly grip with their infectious heavy rhythms before ‘Fire’ and
‘Nerve’ display a more produced dance sound usually found in Ibiza.
The quitest part of
the album is, ‘Let You Get Away’ the track maybe seen as a filler with no
killer beat. ‘I Got Sick’ and ‘Tough On You’ are great tunes that hints towards
The 1975 style. Ending track, ‘Further’
is a powerful solo song that closes the album with a soaring melody that will
be amazing live. If you don’t get the deluxe version of the album you miss out
on some of the best songs release in the past year, including the heavy hitter
produced by Gil Norton, ‘Money, Power, Fame’ and Iconic sound of ‘I Wanna
Know’.
Although they don’t
top the last album it is at the same level with great beats, sing along and
more swagger than Jay-Z. This record is Don Broco firing on full cylinders, pushing
themselves and their sound into the main stream market and hey we think they
have nailed it.
Fans of: Bombay
Bicycle Club, You Me At Six and Partying, 80’s style.
9/10
