***Constructing power-pop gems gilded with a punk and rock edge, Static of the Gods layer sweet-sounding female vocals over a noisy rock rhythm section. This inviting atmosphere with its enticing lyrics and intensity generates a unique brand of chanteuse-pop/indie rock. What started as a seed with Static of the Godsi EP, Nature of the Wave, blossoms with their full-length record, Cycles Follow Signs, which fully captures an authenticity, sincerity and distinctiveness hinted at on their debut EP. The album blends dark and light, creating alternative pop songs that rock with big guitars, strong melodies and a few teeth as well. Cycles is a brisk, deceptively exuberant album... at once fresh-sounding and evocative of the classic Boston pop tradition of artists such as Juliana Hatfield, Belly, Fuzzy, and Star Ghost Dog.
