| |
| Stand Atlantic have been steadily climbing the pop-punk ranks |
| since their formation eight years ago. After breakthrough EP |
| Sidewinder showcased the Sydney nativesÆ raw potential, their 2018 |
| debut full-length, Skinny Dipping, pushed them to the forefront of |
| the pop-punk scene, demonstrating their knack for penning catchy |
| anthems (Lavender Bones) and introspective ballads (Toothpick) |
| alike. Two years on, and following tours with heavy hitters Neck |
| Deep, ONE OK ROCK and State Champs, Stand Atlantic have returned |
| with Pink Elephant, a feel-good collection of pop-punk songs which |
| are, for the most part, a confident and coherent representation of |
| their developing sound. |
| |
| Storming out of the gate with an irresistible earworm in the form |
| of Like That, Stand Atlantic deliver a peppy dose of power-pop |
| which showcases the band at their clean-cut best. ItÆs followed by |
| Shh!, another track thatÆs up there with the quartetÆs finest ever |
| material. Clocking in at just over two-and-a-half minutes, itÆs a |
| short, sharp burst of passion that strikes a fine balance between |
| pop sensibility and rock edge, and one that finds singer Bonnie |
| Fraser in fiery form. |
| |
| The rest of Pink Elephant is, like Skinny Dipping before it, a |
| competent offering of well-crafted poppy rock songs, albeit with |
| the odd dud thrown in. By and large, Stand Atlantic are at their |
| best on this record when the energy levels are high, something |
| evidenced by the likes of Eviligo, DWYW and the sunny rocker that |
| is Soap. In contrast, forgettable electro-pop number Silk & Satin |
| could do with a big injection of vitality, while |
| middle-of-the-road rockers Blurry and Jurassic Park feel a little |
| too functional and lacking in bite. |
| |
| There is, however, one significant exception to this, in Pink |
| ElephantÆs sole out-and-out ballad, Drink To Drown. Here, Stand |
| Atlantic slow things right down, building a gorgeous song around |
| BonnieÆs earnest and confessional lyrics. Set to the backdrop of a |
| piano and accentuated by strings, this track finds her admitting, |
| ?æI should know better but I donÆt, so I drink to drown.Æ ItÆs |
| powerful stuff, and demonstrative of how the band have managed to |
| somewhat separate themselves from the more generic groups that |
| exist within the pop-punk world. |
| |
| Saving the best of Pink ElephantÆs faster-paced songs for last, |
| Stand Atlantic bring things to a sugar-rushed, euphoric conclusion |
| with Hate Me (Sometimes), a buoyant track which has the potential |
| duke it out with fan-favourite Coffee At Midnight for the title of |
| set highlight whenever its creators next take to the stage. |
| |
| Building on the solid foundations laid down with records prior, on |
| the many occasions that Pink Elephant works, itÆs a blast to hear. |
| And even though itÆs far from a perfect album, when it comes to |
| easy-on-the-ear pop-punk, there remain few bands in the current |
| crop who do it better than Stand Atlantic. |
