Skypark – No Ambition

posted in: January 2013, Music Review | 1

Do you remember Skypark? They released two albums on one of Word Record’s attempts to “go alternative” and then disappeared. Turns out they are still kicking around to some degree and have released an album on a “pay what you want basis” on BandCamp. What I remember about Skypark is that I liked the quirkiness of lyrics and songwriting. That quirkiness still seems to be here, if maybe a bit older and more mature. “Sex is a Weapon” being a good example of that (and probably also a song that Word Records would have never released). But a very catchy and heavier song that is probably my favorite of the album. Overall, they stick with the sound that they had on their first two albums – guitar-oriented rock with catchy grooves and an alternative sensibility. You can listen for yourself on BandCamp and drop them some $$$ if you like what you hear.
