Gentlemen Husbands have released their second album titled "Mirror Doll Business." This album follows along with the same style and sound the band created on their debut album. They have a country Indie rock feel to them, and it really airs on the side of country more than rock. They have a similar sound to that of Wilco or The Lazys, so if you are into those bands, you could really like this album. They have done a solid job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly solidly. This album has a nice crisp sound, and it is very listenable. The instrumentation on the album is just pure, straight rock playing. Nothing flashly, nothing over the top, just a nice solid sound. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are  quite good as well. Their vocalist has a nice hard, in your face style, that really brings a full sound to the recording. He can certainly sing, and he is very clear, so you can get just what he is singing about. Great overall. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs that are very small town, and sing about cowboys, drifters, ladies, church, and giving it an old western feel all over. The overall sense here is that the band is trying to give you a scene and set the stage for you to imagine the things they want you to. We aren't really sure that many people can relate to this, but it will take you away from the stresses of everyday for a bit. We like that. 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 idea of this album. Gentlemen Husbands have given you and album that can help you escape, and have some fun. We aren't personally fawned of the style, but we appreciate it. Solid job on this album, and gives them more to pull from while playing shows. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of them.
