Gold Finch have released their second album titled "Forlorn." This album follows the same sound and style as the band debut album. These guys have a very heavy, down feeling sound that isn't for everyone. These guys have a similar sound of bands like Teenage Wrist or Trash Boat, so if you are into those guys, this album could be for you. These guys have done a decent job here on the album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album could certainly use some more work, but you do get that kind of feel that the band is going for a dirty, low, kind of unpolished style to their music. The instrumentation on this album is pretty standard here, although you won't really hear anything that will make you turn your head, the band can play. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are very grungy and a bit raspy, but are still clear enough that you can hear the words pretty well. Now we wouldn't say the singer is a great one, but he can sing, so there is some potential here. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs about wishing and hoping for more in life, being lonely and waiting for things to get better, and pretty much just being a sad boy. We do understand how someone can get into this rut and feel this way. A lot of people will be able to relate to these lyrics as well. 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. Gold Finch have made a record that stands along side their debut and give them a bigger catalog to play at shows. If you liked the bands previous album, you should like this. We think the band has done a good job here, now just time to get out there more. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
