The Blue Stones have entered the catalog of rock duets with a blast. Their debut album Black Holes is short in duration but remains firm and adventurous throughout its thirty-three minutes. The pair from Ontario wrote the material at the late stages of their undergrad studies and the underlying theme is that of an inner quest of who they were, both musically and existentially. This is what the album art also tries to depict with the astronaut in space: a metaphor where the duo leaves solid ground and navigates into a wild and uncertain future.
The first thing that came into mind once the drilling chords of "The Drop" finished and Jafar delivered his opening line "Sick of little twitches coming right outside", was a particular British rock duo into mind. Granted, this is not the only track here that references Royal Blood and their powerful rhythm section. Musically, there is a wonderful blend of chunky riffs and fuzzy guitar effects with confident, tight and often thunderous drumming. A great release with numerous notable moments, surely not to be missed.
Recommendations: "Black Holes", "Little Brother", "Be My Fire", "Rolling With The Punches", "The Drop"

Pretty generic but fun blues rock, however the production makes it all just blend
together and not in a good way
