June 6, 2010: The Apathy Eulogy
















Artist: The Apathy Eulogy
Album: Resolved To Dream
Year: 2009

Resolved To Dream is a gauntlet thrown down. On their sophomore LP, indie-pop act The Apathy Eulogy drifts away from the sap that has clogged their genre and adventures outside of it. Opener "Hold The Ones You Love Close" is rhythmic, with little electronic blips, but it's the vocals that make this album so convincing. Even more so, this album is as fun as it is genuine, and nothing seems to share the staleness you'd expect form an acoustic/indie/pop act. The album is remarkably creative and melodic, highlights being the jagged "I'd Rather Kiss A Tarantula", the sing-along "Summer's Eyes", "Dove Serpent", "Play Nice" and wonderful closer "Looking In The Wrong Place". An incredibly solid and honest album. Highly recommended.
