bracelet

To categorize the sound of Bracelet in one word, or even a single genre, is near impossible. The band surpasses the typical sound of rock by taking the technique of layering instruments and vocals to the next level. Their musical progression is indescribable, partly because each song has its own signature. Songs by Bracelet do not resemble the song just prior to it on the record, nor the one following. Their songs are the unsuspected pleasure and if you stop listening you will miss something.
The song “Shortman” begins with a beat that instantly makes your feet want to tap. The voice of Lew Watts breaks up the words, “You’re mad; you make me mad” in a catchy way that leads you to sing along. With its distinct rhythm and repetition of the lyrics, “why don’t you go home when you’re supposed to?” this song has potential for being the band’s ballad. Skip ahead to the next track, “Pickup.” Right away the almost Radiohead sound, along with a deep voice relaying the words “I could tell you a story” sound almost hypnotic. But just when you think you have the song musically figured out, the tone changes. Watt’s voice becomes high and there is once again the layering of drums, guitars, and vocals. This distinct layering could possibly be Bracelet’s way of defining themselves. Although Bracelet does not adhere to any single musical style, they have found a sound and technique that makes them. With the variations in Watts’ pitch throughout their songs, as well as the layering and musical progression within their songs, the listener will undoubtedly be surprised to hear what this band has in store for them in the following tracks. - April Miller

"I like it... feels great... definite head boppin' going on here... pocket feels great.Killer guitar sound -

"I liked the guitar, bass and drums. they had a nice blend.The guy had a sweetass voice
that's almost mysterious sounding. ".- voicegal Prince George, British Columbia (garageband.com)

"...good rage. I like the guitar - which maybe is a bit overpowering, but maybe not.
...you start to listen to the trackin a different kind of way: you begin to fixate on the vocals,
and the guitar riffage becomes an impressionist backdrop. Sexy."-
