Grand Army - Love Is Gonna Eat You
2013, Grand Army

Boston-based electro-art rockers Grand Army are back in action with Love IsGonna Eat You, the follow-up to their 2009 debut Toys For Chaos. Full of big,quirky pop hooks and unusual song construction, Love Is Gonna Eat You isequally exhilarating and frustrating. Grand Army finds some sublime momentsalong the way ("Our Time", "Make Music" and the wonderfullycatchy "Lost Our Mind"), but there is an almost mindful effort totease the music beyond what it wants to be at times. Grand Army shows distinctpotential for crafting a high impact mix of rock and pop on Love Is Gonna EatYou, but seems to get distracted by their own musical architecture. Everythinghere is well produced and well played, and vocalist Alicia Racine is equallyconvincing as a wildcat rocker or sultry crooner.  There is a lot here to like, but still asense that Grand Army is struggling to find a comfortable musical balance.
