Elos Arma have released their second album titled "This Is The Sh*t" This album follows along the same principals as their previous album in terms of style and sound. This has a very ambient indie sound here which is quite popular at this time. They have a similar sound to bands like Alvvays or even someone like KID, so if you are into either of those artists, you could like this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been made quite well actually. The instrumentation is nothing special, but they can play and the music sounds pretty good. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are very soft and light. They give you that airy feeling and can appeal to a wide range of people. He can certainly sing and it is nice and clear so you can hear all the lyrics. With the lyrics, the band has decided to go for messages of not changing people, relationships, not being able to be happy with what you have or can get and more. These are things that a lot of younger people face, so I think these could really hit with that base. Good job overall on the lyrics. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Oh The Light" your attention as it is the best song on the album and gives you the best overall perception of the album. Elos Arma have made a different sort of album that seems to work well with what is popular right now in the rock scene. Hopefully we will see this band continue and get more people into them. Pretty good job overall on this album. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Elos Arma is a band that will surprise you upon first listen. This is what happened to us when we first pressed the play button on the bands debut album "Good News For Bad People." Their mix of indie rock with a sort of electronic/keyboard element to the music was something that instantly made us think, whoa this is different. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the band has made a conscious effort that their debut "welcome to..." album would be one that has a great sound, and that they did. Now the instrumentation is nothing that will blow you away, but the keyboard addition to the music and the way they do it, brings a new element to this music. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocalist can sing which is always a plus but the lyrics here could use a bit of a touch up to really get the point of the songs across more. If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Elos Arma have come out of the gate pretty well here with this album and we hope that the band keep experimenting and keep on the path they are going with this music. We would like to see the band play  more shows and just get their name out there to the masses. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
