EP Review: March & Beauty 'Summer Said'

-Tara

Hailing from Austin, indie rock band March & Beauty, recently released their new EP, Summer Said. Comprised of Terri (vocals/bass) and Tim Dittmar (drums), Sean Mullens (guitar), and Paul Stautinger (multi-instrumentalist), the quartet recorded the all analog project at OHM Recording Facility with Chico Jones, and the result is a four track set that blends dreamy pop (reminiscent of The Cranberries) and indie rock quite effortlessly.

Opening with the celestial “Stay” which features Dittmar’s airy vocals layered over rhythmic guitars, the set also includes the expansive, hook-filled “Spark,” and the dark, philosophical “October” before closing out with the title track which reminds us of the joys of being young at heart and finding beauty in life - even when we don’t think there is any to be found, “To see a new sky, to feel alive again/The thrill of the ride, to be that kid again/To see a new sky, to feel the sun again/To see a new sky, to feel alive.” It’s a lovely short set of tunes that you should definitely give a listen.

March and Beauty will be touring across Texas this fall. For more information, visit here.
