This dreary morning feels like a post-punk kinda day my Maggots and as such I decided to give you something that, while fitting with the genre, isn't just another Joy Division rip off. O. Children, while obviously taking influence from the post-punk grandaddies, offer up an indie, almost Cure like atmosphere to their songs with each one's main focus being lead singer Tobias O'Kandi's booming deep voice (which is unique in and of itself). Don't let the indie tag I threw in there leave a bad taste in your mouth, these guys have way much more in common with their goth and post punk idols than say the Postal Service or Modest Mouse. Rather, they aren't afraid to be catchy and "poppy" (as much as their sound can allow them anyway) with their songs and one can easily see themselves hearing a few of these songs on the radio. That said, the whole album sounds like a grey rainy morning, complete with keyboards, simple bass-lines and melancholic lyrics. Catchy, dark, and beautiful all at once. Robert Smith would be proud and it's definitely something to check out when your done re-listening to all your Cure and Sisters of Mercy tapes.
