Hailing from Michigan, <b>Pity Sex<\/b>\u2019s <i>\u2018White Hot Moon\u2019<\/i> is just what you\u2019re looking for with the combination of fuzzed-out guitars, melodic emo structures, hazed-out vocals and poetic love-y lyrics fresh from your secret diary.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u2018A Satisfactory World For Reasonable People\u2019<\/i> opens with a paced but calming shoegaze-esque soundscape. Brennan Greave\u2019s sleepy vocals guide the track, later joined by Britty Drake and the switches between male and female vocals are smooth and flowing rather than an abrupt interjection. <i>\u2018Burden You\u2019<\/i> begins overbearing with muffled drums and doesn\u2019t really progress structurally with repetitive lyrics, perhaps due to the their pop-like experimentations. <i>\u2018Bonhomie\u2019<\/i> leads to believe that it will be the same with a drawn-out lulled introduction but drops into a drum driven pop punk tune that\u2019s bound to get a crowd to jump about.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Later, the upbeat <i>\u2018Orange and Red\u2019<\/i> vocally gives Drake a song of her own and her voice proves to have more direction and drive when given the spotlight. <i>\u2018Dandelion\u2019<\/i> also gives us a short but sweet listen to airy subtle guitar chords and Drake\u2019s soft vocals guiding through again. Then comes the title track which introduces the blend of male and female vocals once again, and to prove this Greave sings, <i>\u201cwe\u2019ll blend together\u201d<\/i> while Drake heightens her pitch to do so. Finishing off, <i>\u2018Wrappen Burgers\u2019<\/i> makes up for what the album should have been with a balance between fuzzed-the-fuck-out and moments of proven instrumental talent.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it\u2019s a strange journey through <i>\u2018White Hot Moon\u2019<\/i>.
