And this five-piece also like to create albums based on their favourite books and\/or films. And this time, the book lucky enough to receive such treatment, is J.D. Salinger\u2019s <em>\u2018The Catcher In the Rye\u2019<\/em>, published in 1951.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Comin\u2019 Thro\u2019 the Rye\u2019<\/em> melds into <em>\u2018The Catcher In the Rye\u2019<\/em>, a heart-warming opening track. Twanging and folk-inspired riffs slide over smooth, comfortable vocals \u2013 gravelly yet deep, they\u2019re soothing to listen to, and are evident during tracks such as<em> \u2018For D.B.\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018The Wicker Bar\u2019<\/em>.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>Tracks such as <em>\u2018Pencey Prep\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018Woman Just Kill Me\u2019<\/em> feature gentle acoustic-folk guitars. Harmonicas are to be found during \u2018<em>Where Do the Ducks Go At Winter?\u2019<\/em> a sweet and slow enough track for people to relax and hum along to. A melodic rhythm section keeps the tracks strong and steady; strong drum work during \u2018<em>Smart Girls For Talking, Morons For Dancing\u2019<\/em> builds a fantastic structure for the song.<\/p>\n<p>During closing track <em>\u2018For Phoebe\u2019<\/em>, a harmonic bass and slick riffs round off \u2018<em>The Catcher In the Rye\u2019<\/em> well. <strong>The Retrospective Soundtrack Players<\/strong> are energetic, but not in the sense that they\u2019re straight up in your face. They keep up an unfaltering pace through the album, a steady pace that\u2019s difficult to match.<\/p>\n<p>3\/5<\/p>\n<p><em>&lsquo;The Catcher In the Rye&rsquo;<\/em> by\u00a0<strong>The Retrospective Soundtrack Players\u00a0<\/strong>is available now on <strong>Xtra Mile Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Retrospective Soundtrack Players<\/strong> links: <u><a href=\"http:\/\/retrospectivesoundtrackplayers.blogspot.co.uk\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener\">Official Website<\/a><\/u>|<u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/therspuk\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/u>|<u><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/therspuk\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Words by Jessica Tagliani (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JessTagliani\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener\">@JessTagliani<\/a><\/u>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Retrospective Soundtrack Players is an eclectic mix of punk, rock and folk.
