Gramercy Arms’ self titled album is without a doubt a must have for any true fan of indie rock. The band consists of musicians from the NY area that were formerly in groups such as Guided By Voices, Joan As Police Woman, Luna, and several others. Together, they create an excellent sound that’s not too indie but not too rock.
On the album the first track "Automatic" is probably one of the best songs on the album. With its catchy chorus, intricate sound, and overall excellence, it makes a great first impression for Gramercy Arms.
The next song "Looking At The Sun" is a cutesy little thing that has a nice mellow but still upbeat feel to it. Skipping down a track or so, "Since Last September" essentially is a love song. Now, this does not make it some cheesy chick song; if anything it’s just a nice easy on the ears kind-of song.
"Fakin" is next up and also one of the better tracks on the album. This song features some excellent guitar melodies with some nice drumming in the background combined with the vocals make this track something special.
As for the rest of the album, a total of ten tracks, the songs are as good as the others and worth checking out. So all in all this album is a match for anyone who is seeking a upbeat but still chill and relaxing album.
