Moves
Self-Released, 2020
8/10
A Philadelphia outfit who don’t stay in one place very long, Tweed dance around many genres under their electro-rock template, where there’s never any shortage of grooves or melody in their energetic formula on this debut album.
The title track starts the listen electro-pop friendly with plenty of grooves in the dance filled setting that also tips it hat to jazz, and “Leap Of Faith” continues the liveliness with a stylish delivery of ‘80s influenced fun that makes great use of synth.
In the middle, “Remember, You Forgot” brings some vocal effects to the funk and jam fueled fun, while “Feargasm” recruits hints of psyche-rock in the spacey climate as it moves with a swift pace of disco savvy melodies.
The band continue the strong song craft until the end, where “Creature Of Habit” trims the tempo back to an atmospheric and dreamy display, and “Save Yourself” exits the listen playful with dynamics that showcase their varied talent as processed vocals, calm moments of beauty and violin from Charlie Field enter the proficient finish.
Although this is their first album, it hardly feels like it, as all members contribute vocals on this well textured and hook friendly affair that’s diverse in exciting ways and leaves the listener wanting more.
Travels well with: Lotus- Monks; Skinshape- Filoxiny
