 FORGET
CASSETTES – Salt (Site)
There’s always those CD’s that as soon as you get them, they never
leave your CD player, and no matter the mood you happen to be in, that one
disc is just so damned fitting. Well, that is what Forget
Cassettes has been to me these last couple of weeks. As soon as you
press play, you are hit with an instrumental build-up that leads into a
melodic, very vocally driven number. And really, as good as the first song
is, it’s all uphill from there with this band. Vocalist Beth Cameron
carries this CD with such a gentle power that breaks out with each note
she sings. With a slight familiarity of such vocalists as Emily Haines and
Karen O, Cameron sings with a raw emotion as the music itself makes its
transitions from fast to mellow, soft to hard, and back again. The band as
a whole seems to work quite well together. Beautiful melodies and
instrumentation that seems to complete the record, the entire disc flows
from one song to the next, making for something that you can listen to
time and time again. Really, I could go on and on about how impressed I am
with this band, but the point is, it IS good. So check it out. Now. -
