Beach Slang — The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us (October 30th, 2015)

 ^{Beach Slang — The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us}
♠   Chvíli jsme čekali..., a konečně je to tady. Během posledních dvou let Beach Slang se osvědčili jako kapela, která můžete psát nezapomenutelné skladby, sdílet vědomí, že jsou energeticky naživu a vytvořit komunitu podobně smýšlejících fanoušků, ale vždy chybí jeden důležitý prvek: album.
♠   Naštěstí už je to na stole. To, co máme společné: nacházet lidi, kteří se cítí jako my. Je vyvrcholením jejich společné kariéry, a navazuje tam, kde jejich dvě 7” věci — “Cheap Thrills On A Dead End Street” a “Who Would Ever Want Something So Broken?”, přijaté kritikou v r. 2014 skončili. Chvíli trvá, že si říkám, proč to vlastně poslouchám, ale pak přichází “Young & Alive” a bez prodlení navazující “Porno Love” a můj mozeček začíná chápat, že kluci mají všechno pod kontrolou. Působí to.
♠   Pocity z mládí a zranitelnosti leží v jádru tvorby Beach Slang, která je odnoží punku, částečně popu a určité katarze. To nové odkazuje na shoegaze z EP, ale stojí pevně zakořeněné v současnosti. Je to zábava a je to vážné. Je to smutné, ale není tomu tak. Je to  Beach Slang. Guitar, bass and drums. Played loudly.Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

♠   We’ve been waiting for a while and finally it’s here. Over the past two years Beach Slang have proved themselves as a band who can write memorable songs, share that energy live and create a community of like–minded fans but they’ve always been missing one important element: an album. Luckily the band’s full–length debut is the culmination of their collective career and picks up where their two critically acclaimed 7–inches left off. The feelings of youth and vulnerability lie at the core of Beach Slang’s music, which is part punk, part pop and all catharsis. It references the ghosts of the Replacements but keeps one foot firmly rooted in the present. It’s fun and it’s serious. It’s sad but it isn’t. It’s Beach Slang. This Philadelphia–based act have built their hype the old–fashioned way, without any gimmicks or marketing teams, which makes sense when you consider that frontman and writer James Alex cut his teeth in the celebrated pop–punk act Weston while drummer JP Flexner, bassist Ed McNulty and guitarist Ruben Gallego also played in buzzed about projects such as Ex–Friends, Nona and Glocca Morra respectively. However there’s something indefinable about Beach Slang’s music that evokes the spirit of punk and juxtaposes it into something that’s as brutally honest as it is infectiously catchy.♠   The feelings of youth and vulnerability lie at the core of Beach Slang’s music, which is part punk, part pop and all catharsis.

♠   While The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us further expands on Beach Slang’s unique sound, it also showcases their sonic diversity. From the shoegazing sheen of “Noisy Heaven” to the downbeat dreaminess of “Porno Love” and refracted rage of “Young & Alive,” the album is a fuzzed–out masterpiece that takes influence from the past while staying rooted in the present. “Certainly we are going to sound like Beach Slang because, you know, we are but we didn’t want to make this record a xerox of anything we’ve done. That stuff has no guts, you know?,” Alex explains. “Even if you go from the first EP to the second EP there’s a nice, little arc and range of things happening. I think that’s even more true of this record.”
