\"\"<\/a>Even from just a general glance at the pull quotes taken from them, Estrons<\/b> clearly want to be their own entity, completely divorced from anyone else. The fact that their name means \u2018misfits\u2019 in Welsh says a lot on its own, but with vocalist Tali K\u00e4llstr\u00f6m already carving out the strong, confrontational image of a ready rockstar for herself, there\u2019s no shortage of self-assuredness here.<\/p>\n

And while \u2019You Say I\u2019m Too Much, I Say You\u2019re Not Enough\u2019<\/i> doesn\u2019t quite hit those lofty heights just yet, it\u2019s about as strong a start as the band could hope for, pairing hook-driven alt-rock with a more jagged take on indie-rock for a highly accessible listen. The likes of \u2019Make A Man\u2019<\/i> and \u2019Body\u2019<\/i> are probably the best examples with their sharp, sassy guitar work, while the likes of \u2019Jade\u2019<\/i> and \u2019Aliens’<\/i> feel almost Joy Formidable-esque in how thick and deliberate they come across.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s definitely not foolproof though, and with as few bells and whistles as Estrons<\/strong> have, they can step into repetition with mixed results. The very \u201890s-style buildup of \u2019Jesus…\u2019<\/i> is definitely familiar in its jangling guitars and softer undertones, but it still works. Although the same can\u2019t be said for a track like \u2019Cameras\u2019<\/i> which feels more forgettable than it should. It\u2019s an issue that never bogs down Estrons<\/b>\u2019 approach too much, and they can stay relatively consistent for it, but a sound like this can teeter towards being uninspired easily, and that does happen here.<\/p>\n
