The Cinematics

I haven't really followed The Cinematics career too closely, but they seem to cross my radar every so often. When I do check their music out, I don't fall in love, but I'm also not turned off.

I think they have talent, and they do have it in them, but most often most of their music gets lost in a post-Interpol haze. Their latest effort has plenty of that as well, but, fortunately for me, I liked it enough to listen to the entire record. By doing so I was pleasantly surprised to find s few songs with more of an Echo and the Bunnymen and/or Edwyn Collins feel. This gives the record a bit more of a sheen of interest than usual, and I definitely recommend "Love and Terror."
