Release Notes:
End of the World have a catchy folk-rock swishing relatable to
Train and The Fray and barroom sing-along's liken to The
Kooks. End of the World's latest release, French Exit, begins
with a simple ball of folk-rock threads that by the ending of
the album has constructed a living room furnished with rocking
chair rhythms, shelves of blaring guitar cuts, floorboards of
moaning pedal steel, and shapely vocals by lead singer Stefan
Marolachakis whose register is akin to Jon Bon Jovi with a
pinch of the brute heaves reminiscent of Kasabian's frontman
Tom Meighan. Marolachakis also does double duty as the band's
drummer and lines his links to bassist Sam Axelrod neatly at
every junction. Pedal steel guitarist Mike Incze and lead
guitarist Benjamin Smith embellishes the drum fills with
everything from breezy atmospheric embers like in 'Jody' to
typhoon speed vibrations along 'Section House,' but no matter
how fast or slow End of the World take their tempos, these
songs have an intimate-living-room vibe like the band is that
close to you.
The slow country-folk gusts of 'Learning' have intervals of
languid harmonica curls and calming pedal steel pastorals that
put the listener into a hypnotic daze. The folksy motors and
clanging rattles of 'Someone Else's Dollar' are frocked in
soft intonations, while the folk-rock flakes of 'I Don't Wanna
Lose' have impulsive flashes in the glittering guitar chords
as Marolachakis' vocals drool over the melody with a drunken
murmur. The rollicking rhythms of 'Railroad Living' and
'Kate's Dream÷ have a comfortable gait, while the racy tempo
of 'Section House' has chord inflections with a punk-rock
agility. The gentle atmospherics of 'Billy Silveman's
Poolhouse' contrast the vintage rock tones of the piano vamp
and the guitar strums of 'Favorite Time of the Year,' while
the shiny resonance in the guitar vibrations through 'Hawks'
spill generously over the rapidly moving beats'
End of the World's music has a-close-to-home ambience like
it's made to be played in your living room. Their new disc,
French Exit, has catchy hooks relatable to The Kooks and a
rollicking sway reflective of Train. The band has a tight
playing and match up their links nicely. They are a garage
band that are ready to go pro.
