You Me At Six - VI [Underdog Records / Kobalt Promo]

Scheduled for release via Underdog Records / Kobalt on October 5th, 2k18 is "VI", the new album by former Emo-related Rock outfit You Me At Six which has already been announced on these pages with the video for their massive smash "3 AM" earlier this month. And this is not the only big tune on the album for sure as the bands sixths longplayer opens with the anthemic, muscular Rock banger "Fast Forward" followed by "Straight To My Head" which fuses catchy Indie and hefty snares with melodic synth melodies for daytime radio audiences as well as buzzing underground venues whereas "Back Again" brings forth a sweet, positive Pop attitude and - once again - evokes memories of the German band outift Captain Capa which we've been following for quite a while now. Seeing a "Miracle In The Mourning" the band follows the beaten path of positivity, "I O U" is - at least on our version of the promo album - broken but starts with quite a funky bass line for sure and "Pray For Me" is quite a bop for Indie girls in love. Being "Predictable" sees You Me At Six at their catchiest for sure, providing a possible single-to-be and large scale stadium anthem, "Danger" brings forth a well-funky uptempo take on Indie before "Losing You" closes the thirty minute album on a more melancholia-infused level. Defo one to check out, this os.
