Artist: BANNERS
With a sound somewhere between early Coldplay and post-rock, BANNERS, AKA Micheal Joseph Nelson, has crafted a sound at once both pleasant and pedestrian. That's not to say it sounds bad, at all. Rather, its proximity to the sound of a Coldplay, or a Phillip Phillips, takes the wind out of his sails. A stand out track is his single, "Shine a Light." Building from smooth falsettos, a pounding, war-like, drum pattern leads into a solid folk-rock groove that may have inspired a rug or two to be cut whilst listening. All that being said, "Shine a Light" is THE high point. It's a good sound, but one that ultimately feels a dime-a-dozen with regards to the current music environment.
