Following their well-received debut LP English Girlfriend back in 2011, Montreal’s Silver Dapple has finally returned with their sophomore LP, Moody Boots.
The recent addition of vocalist / guitarist Melissa Di Menna has expanded the band’s sound, with her vocals intermingling with singer / guitarist Emily Deimert in very effective ways. The pair play off each other throughout Moody Boots, which alternates between dreamy pop soundscapes and dark, driving post-punk (often in the same song).
Backed by a powerful rhythm section (drummer Julien Bakvis and bassist Markus Lake), the band weave through a number of styles here, from the pounding, JAMC-sounding first single “Vibration,” to the hazy shimmer of “January.”
Filled with some truly catchy earworms and enough stylistic changes to keep things interesting, Moody Boots is an eminently re-listenable album that might just be this summer’s soundtrack.
See and hear for yourself when the band launch Moody Boots Saturday, May 19th at L’Esco (4461 St. Denis) at 9:00 pm. Tickets are $10, or $15 with a copy of the new album on tape.
