Peur - We Can Build Astronauts [Review]

In this review, I will be looking at the EP titled "We Can Build Astronauts," by a band named, "Peur." Peur are an Alternative Rock band from Manchester, whose distinctive sound and melodic vocals could be easily recognised anywhere. The variation in super distorted bass and guitar, and amazingly clean vocals works very well and creates a really diverse tone to the overall tracks. If you are into your Alternative Rock, Indie, or Punk styles of music, you have to give this EP a listen, I promise you won't be disappointed.



MRG's Top 5 Picks:



Number 5:

In at number 5, goes to the song, "Empires," well written song with a great breakdown in the middle of the song with a well interpreted voice over that really helps to add atmosphere and emotion to the song.

Number 4:

The song I have placed at number 4 is, "Grey Blood," I love how this song starts with an almost blues riff and kicks in with the almost trademark "Peur" grungy heavily distorted guitar before dropping back to the riff, and to top it off, it has an awesome little harmonica solo before a beefy guitar solo, a very nice song.

Number 3:

In 3rd position, I have placed, "Anarchy," the simple guitar in the verses and distortion bass really help to bring out the emotion before the the big kick in the chorus. the vocals are a nice tone and also very catchy in this particular track.

Number 2:

2nd place has to go to the track, "Lights," it is the 1st track on the EP, and gets the whole piece off to a great start, the simple lead guitar riffs in the verses mixed with the distortion bass line, the constant drum beats with the quirky little fills and the higher pitch of crystal clear vocals make for a very well written piece.

Number 1:

In 1st position, and my favourite track on the EP, has to be "Pursued By Bears," this track is led by a very catchy and well written distorted bass line, that is backed up in the bridges and break down by an equally as catchy guitar riff. The song's vocals, drums, bass and guitar all help to give the song a great energy that keeps flowing throughout the song.






That's if for my review on the EP, "We Can Build Astronauts," overall I found this to be a bunch of great tracks that will definitely be going on my music playlist! Looking back on the review, I may have been slightly biased on my number 1 position, seeing as I am a bassist myself, but I stand by my decision.
