| 4.5 superb | DaveyBoy EMERITUS | August 2nd 11 |
Taking cues from fellow Scots Biffy Clyro, Glaswegian rockers Twin Atlantic follow up the promise of their debut EP with the superb 'Vivarium'. Consistent, catchy & accessible, yet diverse & unpredictable with key changes & stop-start tempo switches, 'Vivarium' contains more soaring, yet technical, guitar melodies. The distinctive Scottish brogue of Sam McTrusty (the best name in music) also returns, as do the quirky lyrics & attention to detail. While 8 tracks at 33 minutes is an odd length, it suggests quality over quantity for this exciting quartet. Recommended Tracks: What Is Light? Where Is Laughter?, Audience and Audio, Human After All & Lightspeed.

This album is far too short, and has too much filler, but it's singles have some magical moments, showing they have a lot of talent and promise. The guitar line in What Is Light? Where Is Laughter? The soaring choruses across the album, and Sam Mctrusty's untamed scottish accent all point to big things for the 4 piece.

Scotland's 2009 victory lap is an offering with character and restraint that demonstrates
marked maturity from a band that by right should have none. Twin Atlantic's debut LP takes a
sprinkling of ideas located between pop-rock and post-hardcore and crafts them into
ambitious, infectious rock songs; at 8 tracks long, this record is criminally short, but
what's present is classy and very impressive indeed.
