Producer, Ethan Johns, who has worked
with the likes of Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon and Laura Marling has
created a more rhythmic, less ‘shouty’ sound for The Vaccines’
second album, resulting in a much more accessible collection of songs
in that the lyrics and melodies are clear and relatable compared to
their debut, What Did You Expect From The Vaccines.
Come of Age is reminiscent of the
Brit-indie-rock revival of about ten years ago, before the
Brit-alternative-folk thing exploded and The Strokes and Arctic
Monkeys still ruled the scene.
While some may miss the Brit-indie-rock
revival of about ten years ago (which I do) and be happy that The
Vaccines are propping up the scene with a fresh injection of
anguish-tainted lyrics layered over heavy, recurring riffs- if you’re
after something new, you won’t find it here.
