Waterbodies - What The French Call "Les Incompétents"

1. What The French Call "Les Incompétents"

2. Beater

Waterbodies have released their third album titled "What The French Call "Les Incompétents"" This album is one that follows along the same path, in both style and sound as the band has come to be known for on their last two albums. The band has a very indie rock sound that seems to be the way more bands are going theses days. These two songs have a feel of being like Tokyo Police Club or a Born Ruffians, so if you like those bands, you could really like this album. They have done a good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, these two songs have been recorded with just the right balance of grungy dirty rock and crisp clean production. The instrumentation on the album is nothing that is going to turn an ear, but they have good solid regular play to them. Nothing flashy, just playing. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are not bad. He has a bit of a raspy, indie tinge to his voice and sounds very similar to the Tokyo Police Club singer. He can certainly sing and his vocals are clear enough that you can hear all the words. Not a bad job all in all. With the lyrics, the band goes for messages of relationships and how the singer acts, as well as kids just being kids with no direction to follow. These are not your typical song lyrics, they do give you a little insight into thinking about both subjects. Not bad. If you are looking for a song to give a listen to, we suggest "What The French Call "Les Incompétents"" as this is the title track and the better of the two.Waterbodies have made 2 songs that are both different in subject matter but have the same feel. They add to the bands catalog and give a taste of what is up with the band. Hopefully we see them tour more after this. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of the band. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

6. 1997 (The Wolf Of Memphis)
7. Silver Spoon
8. Machine Machine
9. Borgata
10. The Life Anomic
11. Between The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea

When Waterbodies write an album, they go for a big indie sound that fills the room while still being rough. The band have achieved just that on their album "The Evil We Know". This album does also have some softer more melodic songs and the transition between the two has been done well. With the recording of this album, they have done a decent sounding indie album that has pretty good instrumentation on it. When looking at the lyrics, the band have written some lyrics that are a little out there but the singing is decent here. If yiu want a song to listen to, give the song "Borgata" a listen as this song starts slow but builds up and has a great bass line. The song also show you how the album is. An album like this that has indie written all over it, needs to be listened to by the indie fans. So give it a listen, make your own mind up about it and pay attention to what the band does next.
