Search - Pomegranates :: Everything Is Alive

"The comparisons to early Modest Mouse are pretty spot-on so long as that's not the last word. Pomegranates' sonic template is much wider [and] their pop, poppier." -- KEXP Blog "This Ohio-based four-piece brings to mind visions of Transatlanticism-era Death Cab For Cutie and '90s Britpop with their big, bright sound. The lyrics themselves are intelligent without being pompous or overbearing, drawing from literary sources that are mythological and biblical in nature." -- Amplifier "All the softly swooping melodies the blog-and-tunnel indie fashion victims love without any of that lingering aftertaste of melodrama. It's almost as if indie kids learned to have fun again." -- Aversion "Pomegranates hail from Ohio and play a beautiful mixture of enticing styles ... the band has a reckless and infectious abandon with their songwriting. Yet, all seems perfectly in place." -- Sound As Language After self-releasing the critically acclaimed EP Two Eyes, the boys put together a highly anticipated second release. Everything Is Alive, the band's debut full-length, is pure pop ecstasy from start to finish. Drawing on influences like the Beach Boys and The Kinks, Everything Is Alive has been compared to early Modest Mouse. Melodic guitar lines, gusto vocals, unorthodox song structures ... what more could a kid want?
