Search - Xrayok :: Reflex

xrayok's debut album, Reflex, to be released in autumn 2004, is a lush blend of rock, pop and electronica. On the surface, Reflex might come off as a mix of up-tempo catchy songs with that overall "feel good" attitude. However, delving deeper into the haunting melodies and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, one discovers that there is definitely something else going on here. With the first single, "Happy Ever After", a real intensity builds with an onslaught of up-tempo grooves over spacey keyboards meeting raunchy, mood driven guitars. In "Uh-huh", a crescendo of guitars and distorted keys set against crashing drums builds into a glorious pop song, both heavy and dreamy in tone. This album is an excellent example of a group daring and yet skilled enough to explore different styles.
