The first kiss. The first drunken stupor. The first self-earned money. School and education. Children of the 80s! Lock up your ears very far! And the handkerchiefs not forget. Because what you offer the 'White Lies', are more than a blast from the past. It's the 80s. never; I know at least not better; has a band can capture this zeitgeist of that time so authentic. It sounds smooth as if the children of the former icons hit the keys. Or, as I have already geargwöhnt at the Shout Out Louds (please do not take it seriously), here outtakes of Robert Smith were published. What else sounds annoying and pejoratively, you should do it once in at this album. After that when passage sounds? Often were often Joy Division were noted. Well, I think if you just listens more closely in the middle of the album, you can see the keyboard passages. But that was about it. The debut of British sounds more like the New Romantic sound of the early to mid-80s. It sounds more like Ultravox or Blanc Some because after Wave or Düsterpop. With the texts I have not employed me right so far and I think that would also entirely secondary. What matters here is the music. So much to sound like 80, is uncanny. For those who can not do anything with that time and the music, this album will be a total waste. I would like to not dwell on individual songs. Also for the reason that I do not know what I should emphasize. They are all musical gems. And I would certainly looking too much like his idols from the time. Simply this album listening times in a loop and feel young again. And be curious about what will present us the 'white lies' next.
