After last year's Vaccine success, expectedly, here comes a wave of similarly themed indie groups, just waiting to steal the limelight. But halt! This could not be further from the Vaccines. Instead, we get the sheer marvel of An Awesome Wave. The best track is definitely Matilda, which is smooth, calming, and ungodly catchy. The nice guitar seams effortlessly with the lead singers voice, a marriage made in heaven. Similar beauty is found in the disturbing yet lovely Breezeblocks and the harmonious acapella of Interlude 1, which almost beats Matilda to best song on the album. However, as the album goes on, the undeniably boring Tesselate drones a bit, and the songs go downhill from there. Not bad, but The Vaccines did it better.
7/10
