Heat - Overnight (Topshelf Records) 2017
7
With a knack for creating memorable yet unconventional melodies, Montreal’s Heat are post-punk revivalists, but they proudly show off their alternative rock side by creating this kind of immediate, thrilling and euphoric revivalist nostalgia. From the classic Psychedelic Furs esque to The Clash raspy tunes, from Echo and The Bunnymen expansive sound to Interpol’s in your face attitude, Overnight is full of poppy songs, it’s loud and woozy, it’s full of distortion and sugary sweet intensity. A revival joy full of nostalgia, sounds old-school, it’s dark and heavy-hearted, but their melodies are straight to the point and colourful.
