Customer Reviews

just listen to it.

on first listen to this song, i was kind of surprised. Annuals have been my favorite band for at least a year now, and i see them live every chance i get. the wet zoo ep did have a glossy sheen or a certain polish to it that was absent from be he me. part of that is probably the new money they have with the major label record deal, but part of it is also the fact that they know what they're doing now and have a stronger musical direction. be he me admittedly lacked a little in editing; some sounds and effects were extraneous. 'sore' is a beautiful, polished song that reflects their new direction. which leads us to this song, 'confessor,' the first single from their new album. a lot seems to be missing - there are relatively few of the quirky effects and noises that make be he me so interesting. what the song does have, however, is the melody, harmony, and brilliantly unexpected cohesion of so many different instruments. if this song is any indicator, Adam Baker's songwriting seems more concise, and that is generally a good thing. although it's taken me a few listens to get used to the more polished 'professional' sound of the track, the elements that make it an Annuals song are all present. it bursts right in with a simple melody that sustains the entire song, and the guitar work on the track is incredible. particularly beautiful to my ears are the harmonies in the chorus - the space between the notes is filled by the instrumental accompaniment. if this track were played in the chapels mentioned in the lyrics, it would resonate and just fill the room with sound. it's not great (ie, there are no epic sweeps as in 'sore' and 'brother'), but it is very, very good. i can't wait for this album. and i love the little 'yip' at the end of the first verse. so cute. :)

Amazing Band...Capable Of More.

Annuals are an amazing band. Be He Me, Frelen Mas (Be He Me B-Sides) are; layered to perfection with a strong organic feel, while mixing in some unusual effects/instruments… too say the least. But with the Wet Zoo - EP and more so in this Confessor - Single, I can hear the change into a more conventional band. It’s cut too clean, the organics are lost and so are most of those effects. This is not a bad song by any means, especially when compared to music today. But it’s fairly insignificant compared to what this band is capable of.

Great Single

Great transition from the Wet Zoo EP, love where the band is headed and can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
