Radioviolet - Just Like Yesterday
Indie/Pop/Progressive
Monstersound LLC
Given a cursory listen, one might write Radioviolet off as belonging the soundtrack of a teen drama... that would be a mistake on the listener's part! Don't let the melodic rock style fool you, Just Like Yesterday is a truly deep album with soulful lyrics that actually provoke thought. Unlike many songs out there aiming for what Radioviolet has achieved, and in that effort come off very fake and shallow.
Instruments are tight, and pacing is a perfect fit with the lyrical content of each song. Vocals keep an "adult alternative" feel for the most part, while instruments run between melodic rock (that evokes the softer, less pop oriented, non-psychedelic songs of The Beatles) to alternative and blues heavy rock and back to melodic again.
Songs revolve around looking at oneself and the world from your own perspective and not letting the opinions of others form the foundations of your observations, and answering the question we all face, "who am I?"
The songs that focus on love (new, lost, returning, and humanitarian) are modernly poetic, that is not the oxymoron some Lit majors would have you believe, in a refreshing way.
Track list:
"With Love"
"End this Game"
"Just like Yesterday"
"Bluebird"
"Like War"
"Girl Behind the Glass"
"Four Letter Word"
"Miss You"
"Black and Blue"
"Broken Phone"
"Open Book"
"End of the Beginning"
Choice cuts are "With Love", "End the Game", "Girl Behind the Glass", and "Open Book".
Radioviolet gets a solid 4 out of 5 for Just Like Yesterday.
