This Providence- The Bright Lights [EP]
Released: 10/14/08
Label: Fueled By Raman
This Providence is one of the brightest acts in music today. I remember them back in late 2004, when I heard their first release Our Worlds Divorce. The debut showed so much promise; giving This Providence such a distinct sound. Vocalist Daniel Young has such lazy vocals, which makes it awesome. The area at the time was the, “hot spot”, with the premieres of such bands as Gatsby’s American Dream and Forgive Durden. Their next release was some what a letdown, yet I really enjoyed it. Some of the old sounds changed, which weren’t for the better.
It’s been around two years since This Providence released anything. Earlier in 2008, they announced that they were going to record a new EP. Well, here’s the EP, called The Bright Lights EP. “Waste Myself” is the opening track to this EP. If this is any indication of This Providence’s new sound, I’m totally stoked. It brings back good TP, yet still blends new TP. Dan Young’s vocals continues to be the lazy, soft voice we’ve come to love. He can still send chills down your spine. This track leads into the striped down version of “My Beautiful Rescue.” Quite frankly, I wasn’t a huge fan when this song debuted in 2006, but this version brings different light to the song. It’s a mellow blend of western guitars and pounding snares. Skipping a track, we arrive to the end, “Sand In Your Shoes (Acoustic)” Again, this song highlights the pipes of Young and them western guitars. Truly a positive of This Providence.
While this EP is short, it’s sweet. The tone of the EP is such a positive sound. Now, for us This Providence, we can look as this EP as an appetizer. For one, I can’t wait for dinner. Let’s see if their next full length, can bring this much foot tapping as The Bright Lights EP has.
Score: 7.6
