Natural Stranger "Talk About Our Demons As If They Were Friends" EP Review
Natural Stranger is an alternative band from Brooklyn, New York who have two EP's out. Going into it, I was a little sketchy listening, but the more I dug into their music the better it got. Their EP Talk About Our Demons As If They Were Friends opens with a slower song, "Demons," that leads perfectly into the album though it doesn't assure their sound. "The Passed Away" however gives listeners a feel for the bands sound. Their music ranges from slower songs with powerful lyrics to fast beat songs with unforgettable riffs bound to get stuck in your head all day.
Natural Stranger's first EP, Summer So Far is four songs with a happier beat. The EP creates a feeling of summer and falling in love. If you listen to it in order you may just be reminded of that summer that you fell in love. One of the first things I noticed going into their music was that they had a sound I never heard before, something I couldn't compare to any other band of my knowledge. They carry a really unique sound, one that can be easily distinguished after the first note in a song. Overall, the music from Natural Stranger is an easy listen. All the instruments fit the vocals perfectly, and they definitely don't follow the mainstream sound. If you're looking for a band with a unique sound that will get stuck in your head for days, Natural Stranger is the band you're looking for! - Plugged in Promotions

Bio
Natural Stranger formed in May 2013. Like their namesake, Natural Stranger is a mix of familiarity and innovation. It's not too experimental and it's not too pop. The band finds inspiration from slick pop tunes to the heaviest of metal.
Their debut EP 'Summer So Far' captures the essence of summer love, heartache, and the excitement that comes from new beginnings. One review describes their song 'In Love Again' as "the soundtrack to the end of a Quentin Tarantino film."
Their following EP 'Talk About Our Demons As If They Were Friends' finds the band in a darker, more brooding state, with dynamic song arrangements and blistering musicianship. One reviewer says the song 'Romance' is "every bit an anthem in it's own right."
Known for their energetic live shows, the band leave every ounce of adrenaline on the stage floor when they finish a set. Definitely not background music at an uppity wine and dine spot. Think cranked guitar amplifiers sending shockwaves through the air of a massive stadium while the audience bobs up and down on the beer soaked ground.
Download some records. Come rock out at a show. Shed a tear or crack a smile. Everything's gravy when you're hanging with the strange.
