Straylings are Bahraini\/Austrian singer\/songwriter Dana Zeera and English guitarist Oliver Drake. They released their debut EP in 2008, and are now back with a full length album – Entertainment on foreign grounds.<\/p>\n
Straylings fall into the ”alternative” category of music – in other words the category to cover any band that doesnt fall neatly into any of the other genres. Their sound is definitely reminiscent of ”White Rabbit” era Jefferson Airplane – that slightly rocky psychadelic sound, with similarly haunting vocals.<\/p>\n
There are three songs from the album available to listen to on the band’s facebook page which I’d certainly recommend that you go and listen to – the songs are fairly representative of the album and if you like them then buy the album.<\/p>\n
This is a really good album. The music varies from the psychadelic Jefferson airplane sound to a more modern folk\/rock sound not dissimmilar to Amy MacDonald. The vocals are consistently good and vary from a more rock sound to a haunting sound.<\/p>\n
However you choose to categorise or describe Straylings, one thing is clear – they’re talented musicians who have created a great album. Definitely well worth a listen.<\/p>\n
”Entertainment on foreign grounds” will be released in March on Deadpan records<\/p>\n
