Clothes Make The Man have released their second album titled "Distance." This album follows along the same style and sound the band created with their first album. They have a very rocky sound to them that has also that bit of indie which this a little bit of a different sound here. They have a similar sound to that of a Smashing Pumpkins or The Glorious Sons, so if you like those artists, you could like this album. These guys have done a pretty good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has decent, listenable quality to it. The instrumentation on the album is nothing to get super excited about, but the band can play a nice standard album, which hints of something more. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are really quite good. The vocalist has a nice and clear voice, while being soothing enough to appeal to a wide variety of music listeners. He has a really solid voice and it blends perfectly with the music. With the lyrics, the band has chosen to go for messages of saying goodbye to people, relationships, pain, being firm and not going back on what you say, and just having the hard times of post relationships getting easier with time. We feel a lot of people can relate to these messages, or are currently feeling some of them right now so they will be easy to get into. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of this album. Clothes Make The Man have made their second album feel quite similar as the previous, with following the same pattern as before. They have made a great album that anyone can listen to, and with time hopefully and more shows will get really noticed. Pretty decent job overall. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
