#Dramarama swamp song series

I am not a Dramarama follower, so to me, these twelve songs were new (I did not even know the Bob Dylan original, shame on me…) – and I have to say, I absolutely enjoyed to listen to these 50 versatile minutes of music. On the other hand, the first album after 15 years is definitely worth a beer or two – on the other hand, there are quite some songs, which have been played by the band live on stage significantly earlier. With its piano in the background, it is a great atomopshere.įirst of all, I am not sure, how much Dramarama fans will celebrate Color TV. The album closes with a slower track, which is back to the standard alternative / rock sound.

The acoustic guitar ballad is adding another facet to the album. The Radiohead classic is a good one – and so is that Dramarama song. This guitar and piano track feels very close to Creep by Radiohead to me. Hold Me Tight is another quite slow track, which is very vocal centric. The ballad-alike elments here and there give it a nice character – otherwise, there would be too much of a risk that the song is getting too close to other recordings on the album. Though the song starts comparably slow, it is quite powerful. This song is having a strong 1990’s alternative rock sound – so the Dramarama fans will definitely smile and think of the good old days. Girls who dont count sleeping with the radio on as being alone, non sequitur rhetorical questions, promises of everything, all tied up with bashes and riffs and madly catchy hooks-these are the stuff of Dramarama songs. TIDAL is the first global music streaming service with high fidelity sound, hi-def video quality, along with expertly curated playlists and original content making it a trusted source for music and culture. Nice version, definitely – and a nice variety of sounds at this position of the album. The song roared with power chords, bitterness, and resignation, flipping the rock cliché 'keep on rollin' onto its side. If Abandoned Love feels to remind you of Bob Dylan, this is a cover – which, by the way, the band already played in 2008 tour appearings. The recording feels a bit damped, but the melody is catching and the repetitive parts make it an interesting listen. The song is going back to a more rhythmic character. I prefer other songs on Color TV, but alternative rock fans will enjoy this track as well. The Swamp Song has a slightly swinging melody.

The Cassette is rather slow, very melodic, the guitars are much more in the background than in other songs. The guitar solos on this album are cool, though. Nice recording, though I in general enjoy the more melodic tunes on this album slightly more. Unfortunately, the song is already quite old – I found live recordings of 2011, where the band performed this track already. Very melodic, reminds of quite some alternative anthems. The album start with Beneath the Zenith, which is already one of the best songs of the CD to me. However, the band regularly participated in festivals and had other gigs. 2005 also featured the band’s last studio album release, Everybody dies.
