REVIEW - SEAGULLS ARE DRUNK "Next Round is on Us" EP (2014)

Seagulls Are Drunk "Next Round Is On Us" self-released EP
Released date: 11 April 2014
Running time: 19:25, 5 tracks
 

The guys from Reims Seagulls are Drunk are back with a new EP. It’s titled “Next Round is On Us” and consists of five songs showcasing their brand of folk-rock fronted by Bruno’s love for soul and blues singers.

The EP starts with “Deep Inside Out the Sea” , one of the highlights on the EP, featuring accordion and flute.  The following song, "Big One Rainbow", is a little bit more complex. It has several good things, but IMHO, it doesn’t work as a whole.  The next two tracks are the fast-paced “In the Wasteland”, featuring bombarde, piano and great gang vocals, and “The Ballad of The Jackal”, with banjo, piano and a “jumping” flute. Finally, the guys take a risk again with another complex number, but this time the result is quite good: “Mr. Average” (flute, accordion, bombarde and fretless bass, together with  the haunting vocals of Bruno)

Remember, Seagulls Are Drunk music is best appreciated in a pub atmosphere. So, if you’re at home listening to these lads, dim the light, grab a craft beer and enjoy their music.

1 - Deep Inside the Sea 3:17
2 - Big One Rainbow 3:45
3 - In the Wasteland 3:12
4 - The Ballad of the Jackal 4:20
5 - Mr Average 4:53
