I really enjoyed listening to the sooth sounds of The Maldives. Similar to one of the bands I reviewed last week their sound is very unique. They could probably fall under the rock genre, but they definitely have a little country flare to them. A review online called their sound “alt-country” and I thought that was pretty accurate. They have a wide variety of sounds in their songs which is always cool to see. There are certain times in which the words in the song would stop for an extended period and normally this would bother me, but their instrumentals were very smooth and easy to listen to. ” Lately I” was my favorite song on the album. This is definitely an album I could see myself listening to frequently in the future, so give it a listen and see if you think the same! -Chris Cusick
