Boy Omega
Night Vision
Boy Omegas unique brand of pop is at once fragile, vibrant and wholehearted, and has drawn comparison to the likes of
Elliott Smith, Sparklehorse, The Cure, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine and Bright Eyes. "Night Vision" shows a
somewhat heavier side of Boy Omega's sound, apparent in tracks like "Trigger", "Halos" and "New Year's". There's a
softer side to the album as well, but this time around the acoustic guitars were replaced by big, effect-laden electric
guitars. The strings and horns had to stand back for an array of synthesizers, mellotrons and string machines. The
electronic beats are now real live drums, played by drummer extraordinaire Andreas Lassus. The vocals sound more mature
and powerful, as if Martin has now truly found his own voice. It's an ambitious and well-crafted album. At times it
sounds almost like The Flaming Lips having a late night party with Radiohead and The Cocteau Twins. It's an album that
deserves to be heard and reheard over and over again to grasp all of the music's true colors.
