In this age of changing technology, bands seem to find it hard to resist the urge to alter or tweak their sound in some way.
But despite the pressing lust for the new, Unity Floors have evidently heard the cries for more that rang out after the release of their debut album, Exotic Goldfish Blues, and have given us a delicious dose of the same rather than reinventing the wheel.
Life Admin, the band’s new record, does nothing ground-breaking compared to their debut. Instead, the band simply launch into the business of being Unity Floors, cracking open with ‘Moving To Melbourne’, a song that captures the national feeling of giving up the struggle and moving to the happiest place on Earth (or the happiest place in Australia, at least.)
Tracks like ‘Give And Take’, ‘Young Professionals’, and ‘Cost Of Living’ show the band showcasing a stripped back but blistering sound, and making a lot from the most basic of components.
Their sound is slightly tighter, the lyrics slightly more poignant, but Unity Floors have kept true to their own, and have delivered an album that sits shoulder to shoulder with their debut.
