Eulogies‘ self titled debut album was one of the first albums I received to review for the blog and I was happily impressed with this band that I had heard for the first time. Peter Walker has that voice that reminds you of Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and Nada Surf’s Matthew Caws at the same time. The music he and drummer Chris Reynolds, guitarist Drew Phillips, and bassist Garrett Deloian produce is somber in nature but upbeat with aggressive guitars and sharp beats at every turn. Their sound has only blossomed more with their new album Here Anonymous out on Dangerbird Records. It has what you’d expect for a more serious second album – better production, deeper sound. But overall the soul of the band is still there and Peter Walker’s ability to craft simple sounding pop songs that have classic indie rock written all over them yet bleed classic rhythm & blues is stronger than ever. Here Anonymous also feels a tad more pop driven than I remember Eulogies being…which is great in my mind. The whole thing is solid and each song could easily be a single…but if I had to choose two…
