Press Reviews
With a reputation for breeding frat rockers like Hootie and the Blowfish, it was a surprise to hear such an inspired and original sound coming out of Columbia, SC.
With swirling guitars reminiscent of 90s rockers like Catherine Wheel or Ride, Population 39’s flagship release speaks of frustration, heartache and depression with surprisingly inspirational accompaniment.
Drowning sets off quietly with mellow guitar lines and smooth background vocals, the kind that weigh heavily on your mind while unexpectedly keeping you singing along.
Come Back chimes in second with stellar production quality. The layers of guitars seem to break away with each crash of the snare drum.
A new wall of sound is constructed with Synthetic Life. Perhaps the standout track on the disc, Synthetic Life crashes in loudly, giving the listener a possible view into the band’s live show spirit.
The CD concludes with the faster paced Different Way, a testament to frustration aligned with dancing guitar lines. If this Population 39 release speaks to the quality of future material,
take my advice and keep an ear out for this band.
