7 song album<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first exposure to sidebody was watching them perform \u201cHe\u2019s Dead\u201d online as part of the band\u2019s Tiny Desk concert. I was immediately hooked.  That led me into a deep dive of their latest studio album, Full Time Job.<\/em> I\u2019m glad I did as I\u2019ve really been enjoying the studio version of \u201cHe\u2019s Dead\u201d, which happens to be the opening track on the latest sidebody album. The music reminds me a bit of surf rock tune meets the B52s with a dash of indie rock.  While this music doesn\u2019t quite fall under the Americana category, there are undeniable traces of Americana-adjacent influences like classic early rock and roll with hints of surf rock primed with a healthy dose of New Wave. \u201cQuantumly Entangled\u201d continues with the New Wave feel, adding in a bit of funk. Not Dead (in Natick) could easily find its way into an Americana playlist; also doesn\u2019t hurt that it\u2019s catchy as hell. It also doesn\u2019t hurt that sidebody can drop harmonies like no one\u2019s business. \u201cNot No\u201d is fiery punk where as \u201cPie in the Sky\u201d has a 1950\u2019s doo wop rock feel. \u201cSpong Time\u201d has a chiptune-feel fueled by The Pixies\u2019 Black Francis\u2019s styled dead pan lyrics. Full Time Job<\/em> is a great album and sidebody is an undeniably talented band, no matter what genre they juggle.
