A rising indie rock band from the always fertile Manchester scene, Inego doesn\u2019t shy away from funk or pop moments on this fluid debut album. Comprised of Toby Belshaw on vocals and guitars, Pete Mackenzie Hodge handling drums and vocals, and Stefan Guttel and Dan Myers contributing bass and guitar, respectively, there are also guests providing keys, backing vocals, spoken word, horns, and percussion, too. <\/p>\n
\u201cJe Sais Ce Que Tu Ressens\u201d starts the record with a firm, infectious beat as dance rock and alt-rock meet where spoken word from guest Magali Pitt add an ominous quality. \u201cI Need Your Love\u201d follows with soulful singing as plenty of modern pop sensibilities surround the sleek atmosphere. \u201cRealise It’s You\u201d follows with rhythmic indie pop that’s bright enough for the FM dial and comes with soaring vocals amid a healthy dose of funk.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
The middle of the album continues their memorable formula with the club-ready melodies of \u201cPhoenix Arizona,\u201d while \u201cWe’re Coming Up\u201d glides with an ’80s flair in the synth fueled choruses and subtle brass. \u201cShe Don’t Care,\u201d an album standout, then recruits acoustic guitar and horns to help cultivate an almost folk-like beginning that builds into textured beauty. <\/p>\n
\u201cSomewhere In The Stars\u201d and \u201cIKHYF (Die Fledermaus Dub Mix)\u201d exit the listen; the former lies in acoustic balladry that would make the Gallagher brothers smile, and the latter, which is a different version of the first track, is firmly drenched in electro-pop but also flirts with post-punk as well. <\/p>\n
Although they’re still very young compared to the legends from their hometown, I feel \u2013 at this rate anyway \u2013 Inego will one day be spoken in the same sentence as New Order, Oasis, and The Stone Roses as bands from Manchester who made a sizable dent and whose records will be relevant for decades to come. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":34205,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[10590],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-46036","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-inego","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=46036"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=46036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
