NJ's Top Albums of 2018 - Sonic Blume's "Beach Karma"
Splice Magazine's Review of Sonic Blume @ House of Independents, Dec 22, 2018
Splice Magazine excerpt:
"Youthful Sonic Blume was first on tonight’s bill. New Jersey natives Max Connery (Synth-Guitar-Vocals), Daniel Murray (Drums), Andrew Phelan (Bass), and Chase Landgrebe (Guitar) make up this award-winning lineup. Winners of the 2018 Asbury Music Award for Top Young Band (Under 21) this foursome have made quite a name for themselves locally. As soon as they started playing you could see why they were bestowed such an honor.
Their indie/dream-pop/shoegaze style is highly melodic, musically. With 2018’s Beach Karma album and the earlier EP, Sonic Blume(2017) providing tonight’s selections, it was all business. Throughout their entire set, the music was delivered with the grace of a band twice their age. It will be nice to see what the future has in mind for these four, but from what we witnessed tonight, their future outlook is great."
