VOXTROT - VOXTROT
After putting out several well-received EPs, Austin’s Voxtrot finally releases its first full-length here. The band has smoothed out its sound by incorporating strings on most of the songs, resulting in more range to explore its sonic depth. The accelerated pace of “Kid Gloves” and “Easy” boast memorable, catchy choruses, and the lyrically witty “Steven” is a light and lively jaunt. The propulsive, guitar-driven “Firecracker” finds singer Ramesh Srivastava questioning record label negotiations, while the laid-back cool vibe of “Every Day” is a reflective nod to Belle & Sebastian. Despite a few lyrical missteps (”Future Pt. 1″), “Voxtrot” is generally insightful and emerges as a promising debut.(Playlouder) Billboard
