Religion Of Heartbreak – Dream Reflection (Digital EP – Religion Of Heartbreak)
Formed by former members of the band Monta, the American project Religion Of Heartbreak is still relatively new on the scene.
Their latest EP features five tracks that blend Cold-Wave and Minimal-Electro into a catchy, atmospheric sound. The opening track immediately hooks the listener with a strong, carrying chorus. Vocals alternate between a male and a female singer, adding a dynamic layer to the listening experience. Personally, I find the songs fronted by the female vocalist to be the clear standouts.
While I wouldn’t go so far as to call this a must-hear release, there’s definitely something intriguing about this band. Let’s hope they continue to evolve and build on their distinctive sound. (Rating:6½).
