Album Review
Bands that look to the '60s and '70s for inspiration are nothing new in the realm of rock music — it seems every year, a new group appears that sounds like they thoroughly studied and regurgitated their parents' album collection. But when you find a band that manages to recall vintage sounds of the past and also put its own unique spin on the proceedings, then you've found something special. And that's exactly what the Heavy accomplish on their sophomore full-length, 2009's House That Dirt Built. Borrowing equally from garage rock and soul sounds from yesteryear (as well as merging in hip-hop beats, to boot), House That Dirt Built is one mightily impressive musical magic carpet ride. Singer Kelvin Swaby has the whole Rob Tyner/soul thang down pat (as evidenced by such ditties as "Love Like That"), and his bandmates keep pace throughout, with explosive rockers ("Oh No! Not You Again!"), Jack White-meets-James Brown grooves ("How You Like Me Now"), and a lush sonic sign-off ("Stuck"). Vintage rock revival done right.
Customer Reviews
The Best Sounding Album of 2009
After hearing 1 track I bought this album and bought a copy for a friend of mine for Christmas. Its very funky and very rocking at times and is akin to the Black Keys or Cold War Kids but with more of a James Brown vibe.
Seriously recommend this album.
Why did it take so long......
.....for me to hear about The Heavy! It's like all my favourite bands & old soul greats got together for a massive jam session with all my favourite turntablists mashing the beats! Absolutely amazing stuff. I just wish I'd discovered them earlier! So funky so soulful & so heavy! Booooom!!!!
Fantastic
I was a bit slow buying this album but heard the Heavy for the first time on the series Project Dawn Strike back.. (the other way round lol) and was blown away by it scuse' the pun!! I had to search for it and buy the album. 2 years later but better late than never. Well worth a buy for your collection. Lyrically awesome, musically brilliant.
