Reviews

scoundrel Aug 16, 2010
For their second album, _Four Five Six_, The Grid invite whole raft of guest artists. "Face the Sun" starts things off mellow, but when Yello pops up on "Ice Machine," things get funky (and weird) quick. The clean lines of "Crystal Clear" add a nice brightness, though, and "Aquarium" has an appealing dreaminess. I'm not too thrilled by the lyrics on "Heartbeat," however, but the pure house pleasures of "Figures of 8" and "Boom!" (the latter with some Spanish flair) bring up the energy. "Leave Your Body" takes things down again, and "Fire Engine Red" has that nice house-pop sensibility that The Grid will explore further on their next album.
