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.)
