-----------------------
Tabloid life surrounds us. Artifice has replaced art, style trumps substance. Sincerity
and honesty got lost along the way. Once in a while though, something breaks through.
It can crack the shell of bitterness and send a memo reminding us that itÆs entirely possible
we havenÆt become too jaded, at least not yet. ThatÆs where The Uglysuit and their
self-titled record come in.
Made up of six friends from Oklahoma City ranging in age from
20-23, The Uglysuit brings a different mentality to what they do û remarkably fresh-faced
and honest, the band believes in letting loose, fostering a heartfelt atmosphere of hope and
love, and works hard to shape what comes naturally. Playing together since their early
teen years has given them an almost familial connection which shines through on their beautiful,
fully-realized debut album.
The comfort and ease The Uglysuit shares in performing together is evident in the direction
each song takes. Some start as one thing and end as something
completely different, but in a way that fits together perfectly. Nothing is sacrificed and
everything makes sense. ôBrownblueÆs Passingö begins delicately before orchestral elements
take a march-like turn, leading to a finale that becomes increasingly hypnotic and epic.
ôàAnd We Became Sunshineö opens with a bouncy intro that eventually transforms into a
soaring chorus of guitar washes, keyboard flourishes, and lush, layered vocals. ôChicagoö
brings together a more traditional song structure, a melody painted with piano and delicate
guitar lines, and a refrain that can stay embedded in your brain for days.
The UglysuitÆs music is an extended love song to the notion that everything is possible, yet nothing
is guaranteed. ItÆs born of excitement and energy and built on potential and promise. ItÆs based on
the premise that change exists in everything, and where a wide-eyed view of the world doesnÆt equal
naivetΘ. It reminds us that we are alive, and that maybe itÆs not too late.
