Society

From just seeing the cover for DVAS’s soon-to-be-released album Society, I knew that I could expect an atmospheric journey through a number of different tempos, beats, and backing tracks. Yeah, I know you’re not supposed to judge something by its cover, but in this case, the judgment was completely correct which proves that I should start paying more attention to album artwork. After a couple of seconds into the first song, the title track, you can already get the gist of what to expect. With binding electro beats (more laid back than Daft Punk), the group has produced some funky tunes that bring out the real spirited feeling of summer. I do find parts of the album a bit too carried on, but nonetheless each track is original and mixes up the use of vocals vs. pure music. “Fantasy” in particular locked in my attention with the most peaceful ocean sounds leading into a more and more intense beat and dreamily sung echoes. “Telegraph” also had me hooked with a basic introduction composed of unusual notes, continuing into its entire unique finish. Besides a couple of fantastic songs however, I found Society to be a tad repetitive and conventional. That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy listening to it though – in fact, I won’t be surprised if I catch myself playing it again whenever the quiet house needs some substance.

Society comes out July 27th. It’s a great additional touch to your airy summer playlist.
