Changing Color

Denver Westword Review

     

Pop-punk stalwart My Body Sings Electric used to lean heavy, but the band heads more toward pop on its latest release. Recorded at Interlace Audio in Portland, Changing Color is a highly polished affair of airtight instrumentation and squeaky-clean vocals. This album would have no problem finding airwaves a half-decade ago; it still might get there today. These guys are as technically precise as you can be, and this thing sounds best when they're going for gymnastic guitar lines and disjointed construction. Tickle Me Pink broke up, leaving shoes to be filled at the top of the local pop-punk scene. With Changing Color, My Body Sings Electric seems ready to step in. - Denver Westword

My Body Sings Electric are no ordinary group of musicians. They love music–not only when they’re on stage. A few words with any of these guys and you’ll feel their affinity for music almost instantly...“Changing Color” is perhaps the perfect revelation of a band who have a sense of renewed control and confidence. The songs are cohesive and tight. The riffs are neatly packed into spaces they seem to fill; the vocals aptly mixed. Largely a result of the excellent song reconstruction, pre-production and huge overall improvement in sound quality, it’s very clear the exact sound My Body Sings Electric are going for. The impeccable riffs on the album’s second track, “Living Proof” are gratifying and huge; Whalen’s voice is charged with enthusiasm and positivity. That is probably at the heart of “Changing Color” as a whole–it’s bright and reflective of the each member’s characteristically uplifting attitude. - TheMusicTheMessage.com
