We Broke the Weather: We Broke the Weather

Frenetic, Intense, bits of jazzy horns, spacey keys, and some heavier prog infused excursions open up the debut release from Somersville, Massachusetts based We Broke The Weather. I do pick up a Thank You Scientist vibe in the vocals. The band has a modern approach, so even with some prog influences, I won’t say their sound is something you would immediately label as proggy. “Rot King� is catchy, and there were moments where I thought this was going to go somewhere dark, I would have loved for the ending to have gone on an instrumental path based. I latched onto the darker feel of “Fire Season�, here they stretch out more, using noisy guitars to get the point across. “Bellwether� brings an in your face, noisy, instrumental attack, and the vocal sections have an entirely different feel from the instrumental breaks. “In Web� has a sequenced keyboard with a distant and again jazz influenc e horn. “The Fog� opens with a Crimson like horn leading the way, and falls into that more modern approach. I am torn as I enjoy where this band is trying to explore instrumentally, but with the heavy use of vocals, the instrumental side doesn’t seem to be the bands priority.
