Riffs and Grooves: a Listen to Gazebo Effect’s Self-Titled Album
This album has a superb mix and surprised me when I hit play on “Heartland,” the first track. I wasn’t expecting a huge wall of sound and was greeted with open arms by a meaty bass and surging guitars. There are so many absolutely ripping solos on this album that are a marvel to listen to. It’s bluesy, it’s shreddy, it howls and hums and winds around. 3 guitars is madness, but Gazebo Effect makes it exceptionally effective and they manage to distinguish every guitar’s sound, crafting a fun sonic landscape that is a pleasure to listen to.
The vocals on this album sound uncannily like Sameer Gadhia of Young the Giant. Sameer has one of my favorite voices — a rounded tenor that has a toasty quality. Needless to say, I was thrilled to hear a vocal that reminded me of Young the Giant, and I think that beyond the tight instrumentals and great overall sound of this album, it’s also superb vocally. When a band checks all the boxes of well-rounded sound, it’s a treat, and Gazebo Effect clearly put a ton of work into crafting their sound.
Gazebo Effect has done catchy, irresistible rock at its best. This sound has been done before and will be done again, which is why it’s imperative that any band choosing to go this sonic route gets their sound together and tries to add something special to the sound. Gazebo Effect accomplished that, and I would recommend that you give the album a listen.
