CD Review: Fireworks Night - As Fools We Are

Another little review recently featured in Alternative Ulster.

FIREWORKS NIGHT - AS FOOLS WE ARE

(ORGAN GRINDER RECORDS)

Release: APRIL 30

Fireworks night are an Oxford-educated, alternative/folk/expiremental 9 piece outfit investigating on their second album sounding "the human capacity for love and for violence and how these impulses can co-exist in an individual and in the world as a whole". They do this with a diverse selection of songs ranging from sparse acoustic, 'The Prettier Part', to full-on hyper-infused cabaret, 'What You Don't Know'. While interesting there's nothing new and the lack of melodies will limit appeal.
