Customer Reviews of His & Her Vanities
His and hers This rock quartet seriously needs to whittle down their sound. His & Her Vanities, in their self-titled debut, overload potentially interesting songs with so much sonic clutter that it's hard to not get overloaded. It could have been complex and nuanced -- instead it sounds messy. <
> <
>Some bands do well when they have a dense sound, layering music and instrumentation to create a wonderful sonic experience. His & Her Vanities is not one such band -- somewhere under all the distortion and ringing guitar and smacking percussion, there may be a shred of actual musicianship. But if there is, you can't tell just by hearing. <
> <
>The problems arise in the very first track, the messy and uneven "Slowage," a plodding rock song that is also saddled with melodramatic wails and mumbles. It strays into hard rock and powerpop turf, but retains the same overblown style. So it barely qualifies as anything -- punk, pop, rock, or whatever. Only a few songs are stripped-down enough to be any fun -- powerpoppy "Looking Thru Lab Eyes," and swirling rock song "Back 2 Square 1." <

>The band started as Ricky and Terrin Riemer messing around in their basement, and maybe it should have stayed that way. At least that way their music might have remained middling instead of densely overblown. Ringing guitars, grinding bass and muffled percussion are melded with hard-to-decipher vocals. They sound chaotic... and not a good kind of chaos either. It's not an exhilarating chaos, but a painful, messy kind. <
> <
>The ultra-dense music becomes even more painful when you realize just how vapid the lyrics are -- usually just nonsensical rhymes like "Back to square one/push pin into thumb" or "Well, you know you're the best/that there is all avoid." Hello banality -- you live in these song lyrics. Maybe the Riemers should focus a bit more on songwriting and not on instrumentation. <

>With mediocre lyrics and painful instrumentation, His & Her Vanities strike out on their first album. Maybe they'll be luckier the second time around, and strip down their sound.
