A Perfect Day

2003

Do you like hoppy, happy female singing bands? Here you go! I had a chance to listen to this album a little more after I received it, and I tried to dissect it, but couldn’t. This album is very straightforward, somewhat simple in concept, and very well done! Changing Modes has a great sound! I love running sound for female singers for some reason, and I can tell these gals (and guy) would be a ton o’ fun.

I was a huge B52’s fan, all the way back to their first released album. This album pulls in a lot of the same feel, sound, and energy! Changing Modes is very much a party style band, danceable, and has great lyrics. At the same time, if you are not careful I could see this band playing along side of punk bands and other garage/indie’ish bands. If you listen closely you can pick out the sarcasm and play on reality – a very subtle add-in of humor, and very creative words. This CD would look great of your shelf!

Favorite Track: 3, “Pretty Vacant”
