Blvd Hvnny’s bio states that they are “a spectral pulse in the gathering dark” of the world, though, not to be dramatic, these tracks ring closer to a ghostly heart on life support (not lifeless, but not thriving). “Winter Kills” showcases deep vocals with a Leonard Cohen-esque quality, lending a haunting gravitas to their sound. In contrast, “Joaquin” is a chaotic jumble of sounds, with lyrics that, presumably, don’t land with the impact the band may have intended. Though their edgy beats echo familiar territory rather than carving new ground, there’s a compelling aspect to the music that hints at potential growth.
