Looking for a new pop album that still has that indie feel to it? Look no further than local favorites Imagine Dragons’ new self-titled EP, released last month. The band recorded the five- song EP this past summer after moving to Las Vegas to dedicate the entire summer to recording and touring.
The EP is one of the catchiest CDs I have put into my CD player in a long time. I didn’t really know what to expect from the band, but as soon as the first track came on, I just wanted to turn up the volume as loud as it could go and learn every word so I could sing along; needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve tracked the band’s progress over the year or so they have been together but have never really gotten into them; however, I must say that the EP is well-crafted and I think it will appeal to just about anyone. Heavy synths and keyboards, pounding drum beats on each track and singer Dan Reynolds’s unique voice all help create the distinct pop sound that is Imagine Dragons.
Although the band experienced some rough spots in its lineup early this year and had been searching for its own distinct sound for some time, I think with the release of its new EP, Imagine Dragons have finally found its voice.
