English neo-psychedelic power pop quartet It's Karma It's Cool are fully embracing the electric guitar in their new album One Million Suburban Sunsets. Going for a rougher and harsher rock sound, the songs deal mostly with dealing with modern life, a world wherein shifting paradigms have taken over.
Leaning heavily on tension and release the songs are allowed to wander around a bit, without ever getting lost. The band themselves have labeled it alternative rock, but there also forays into prog-metal (21st Century Meds), 60s pop (Serotonin) and Floydian flourishes wrapped in college rock (Sidewalk Flowers).
The band members are adamant to never repeat themselves, but they can't get away from their knack to write anthems with adventurous melodies. One Million Suburban Sunsets is both an expansion and a continuation of their craft, proving that guitar music driven has a bright future.
