With Joyce Manor essentially winning indie-emo-punk for 2016 with ‘Cody’<\/i> a couple of weeks back, it would take a band with some serious stones to try and take them on in any capacity. Enter I’m Glad It’s You<\/b>, a California act with a similar penchant for ’90s-inspired, Midwest-sounding alt-rock. And though their new album ‘The Things I’d Never Say’<\/i> mightn’t hit the same giddy heights as Joyce Manor did, they still manage to fly as their own beast. <\/p>\n

Though considering them “their own beast” might be easier said than done, as ‘The Things I’d Never Say’<\/i> evokes some pretty potent imagery of plenty of other acts. Joyce Manor, Modern Baseball and You Blew It! can all be picked up on in I’m Glad It’s You<\/b>’s sound, and though they may leave them to some as just another face in the crowd, they’ve got the songwriting know-how to at least make some sort of impression. Something the likes of ‘Communion’<\/i> and the weaving ‘Keepsake’<\/i> would attest to.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As much as this is an album that gets along by following genre tropes to a T, it can’t be denied that the band do it well. ‘Revival’<\/i>’s jangle and muffled vocals bring prominent indie and shoegaze influences to the fore, and there’s a gently upbeat lilt to ‘The Things We Lose’<\/i>. Hardly revolutionary stuff then, but there are good intentions and a decent execution and it’s something you can get behind easily.<\/p>\n

There have been so many of this type of album released this year that you’ve probably made your mind up about ‘The Things I’d Never Say’<\/i> already. If you’re looking for something that manages to flip the formula on its head, I’m Glad It’s You<\/b> might leave you cold. But for a bit more of the same, you could do much worse than checking this out. Pretty derivative, but still pretty good.<\/p>\n

3.5\/5<\/p>\n

‘The Things I’d Never Say’<\/em> by I’m Glad It’s You<\/b> is released on 4th November on 6131 Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
