Artist: Queens Club
Album: Young Giant
Release Date: 3/23/10
Label: Tooth & Nail Records
Debut albums can be hard, especially since they can depend on the artist's whole career. With Queens Club, this shows a bit. While not having the deepest lyrics, they certainly do have an interesting sound. Blending together pop, indie and rock, Young Giant is a great introduction for Queens Club. With an indie rock style in the vein of Bloc Party, there is also a heavy pop element present.
Highlighting the album are the tracks "Dust", "Less Talk" and "Upstart". The electronic-driven "Dust" is a conversation between a young man and God and lyrically the deepest song on the album. In "Less Talk", an indie rock sound in heard, containing an energetic beat and a memorable chorus. Taking on a pop rock sound is "Upstart", which has some catchy hooks and offers some rather dreamy lyrics. The rest of the album is made up mostly of indie rock, which have a continual sound and somewhat shallow lyrics. With this debut however, Queens Club does have an interesting sound, leaving Young Giant a successful debut.
Rating: 6/10 Young Giant is a good debut for Queens Club, leaving plenty of room for progression. Something else noticeable on Young Giant is that it's an energetic album, but really needs to go with one straight up sound.
