Wild Sweet Orange – We Have Cause To Be Uneasy

Wild Sweet Orange sounds cute enough. But then there’s the first song which is called “Ten Dead Dogs” which is anything but cute. So what to think of this Alabama-based outfit? Well, they play indie rock for one thing. The kind that’s easy on the ear. Their sound can be pinned down somewhere between Coldplay (but less whiny) and Limbeck (but less country) and I have absolutely no problems with it.

Their vocalist is called Lovinggood (yes, that’s his real name) but as a kind of counterweight the drummer is called Kilpatrick. I thought that was pretty cool while I was listening to songs about lost love and families falling apart. All of which are served with well-executed arrangements and nice melodies. Not a bad way to start off a music career!
Score: 7 out of 10
