Dirty, catchy goodness
Brisbane locals Massai deliver a punchy EP with hooks aplenty. The group’s second release kicks off with the catchy Sail Away, beginning with a faux-religious spoken word introduction before rolling into a straight-up indie rock track. The EP contains a few of these more formulaic tracks, which is not necessarily a bad thing, as there is definitely nothing wrong with the catchy formula. Unfortunately when balanced up against the more dirty and rollicking songs, they don’t stand out quite as much. The highlight of the release, Abe And Isaac, definitely comes from the latter category with its dirty southern-tinged guitar and lyricism. Closing song Hey Cuba Let’s Talk is another great track that places itself on the dirtier side and is far more interesting for it. Mr Delphian as a whole is a solid EP with some very memorable songs.
