The Start Of Something-Voxtrot
Combining elements of twee,jangly guitars,poingnant 60's melody Austin's Voxtrot creates
a perfect goulash of catchy tunes reminisce of 80s definitive indie act,The Smiths and recent twee heavyweights, Belle and Sebastian packaged neatly and presented to you in the most presentable but fragile box that is their song from their latest single 'Raised By Wolves',The Start of Something.
Immersing us in lyrical inclinity and melodical genius,their
sound is what every other indie band is trying to achieve but falls short of.
From frontman Ramesh Srivastava, subtle longing vocals to guitar works that hints of the call for shuffling feets,listeners get to dwell in an unorthodox aural oddity that is one of an uplifting sad music.
Srivastava's knack for retro-fitting lyrics with the song's core melodies is the underlying
factor behind the song's coming together.Without it,lyrics such as, 'don't call me boring/it's just cause i like you'would simply sound awkward and simply fall apart and into the pigeon hold of 'half-there' songs.And lyrics are the song's strong point,with uber-sweet statements such as 'come by and see me i'm a love letter away' or 'i break the law once every week
to feel your touch',screams of utter cheesiness but ultimately a do or die effort in which they ended up triumphiant nonetheless. And not to mention the generic but oh-so-jumpy solo
which nails,hard,whatever intended sound the band tried to achieve in this song;The icing to the
three layered cake.
So with everything at hand,all they have to do is mix it together and out of all that talent,what you get is the perfect love-lost anthem. A justifiable cause for all the hype that they've generated throughout the indie circuit.
