Cannons - Night Drive


Cannons must be some sort of musical Gods, because anyone who manages to make the cowbell sound suave and sexy knows what they're doing. I have to say I'm absolutely overjoyed and filled with glee, because this release goes to show how strong Cannons are as a band, and that their first LP marks them flatting out any sort of tiny kinks we've heard in the past. A brilliantly cohesive album, Night Drive guides you through a neon-coloured adventure, with every track meshing beautifully into the next. 

You may have heard me ranting and raving about the LA-based trio in the past, I caught up with them a few months ago and got to know a bit about them, picking their brains as they were working on Night Drive. With the album finally out, it's absolutely what I expected it to be, danceable and lush songs, just in time for the summer. They sound like such a well-oiled machine, it's hard to believe this is their debut LP. 

The album starts off strong with Miracle, a light but ridiculously groovy track with Michelle's voice lulling you along. The Beach is another one of my favourites, with a very 80s-inspired and catchy synth that'll leave you tapping and grooving consistently. I listened to the album on a long drive home and couldn't help but realize how fitting everything was, and how enjoyable it made the entire trip back. 

Future Love is the cowbell-infused gem I can't get enough of. It's the type of song you'd play at the beach or by the pool, soaking up the rays and enjoying drink after drink on a scorching hot day. The blend of 80s synth and 70s disco rings true with this one, and it has so much radio-friendly appeal.

So many great things have come out of Cannons in the last little while, and Night Drive just proves what a wonderful roll they're on. I expect huge things from these guys in the next little while, and will be waiting, edge of my seat for more.
