Playing a heavy song on an acoustic guitar doesn&rsquo;t make it an acoustic song, it just means it&rsquo;s in the wrong context. If you arranged said song and played it incredibly mellowed out and slowed it down a bit then yeah, it&rsquo;d be an acoustic cover. Playing the song exactly how it is on an acoustic is not.<\/p>\n<p>And from the previous paragraph you can probably assume my stance on <strong>Oxygen Thief<\/strong>&rsquo;s newest EP <em>&lsquo;One Day This Will All Be Fields&rsquo;<\/em>. The opening track <em>&#8216;Badge Of Dishonour&rsquo;<\/em> initially threw me way of course for what I expected from an acoustic EP. All of the songs are very much what I wouldn&rsquo;t expect from an acoustic EP, and are instead what I imagine are rock songs played on an acoustic guitar. Chords are flying around everywhere and incredibly prominent vocals really, really do throw me off.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>But the real thing is that in a full band playing these songs electrically would be much better suited, and in this established scenario, I would probably rather enjoy them, in a sort of slightly math based, angular Reuben-esque vibe. So whilst these songs are intriguing and have caught my attention, be it not for the best of reasons, I can only hope that their electrical embellishments will be much better suited, and what my ears are expecting. Good songs, wrong output.<\/p>\n<p>2.5\/5<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;One Day This Will All Be Fields&rsquo;<\/em> by <strong>Oxygen Thief<\/strong> is out now on <strong>Xtra Mile Recordings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oxygen Thief<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oxygenthiefmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/oxygenthief666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/oxygenthiefYEAH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Mikey Brown (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeyMiracle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@MikeyMiracle<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To me, acoustic music is a genre.
