A driving energy permeates the entirety of Weak Signal’s first full length, the aptly titled LP1, a product of the record’s rough, static laden guitar work and the simultaneous vocal delivery of members Sasha Vine and Mike Bones. The entire release relies upon an economy of sound over its nine tracks, where bass, lead guitar, and drums gel to create concise D.I.Y. indie rock. There’s no bells and whistles, and the LP doesn’t stray far from its consistent electric sound, but Weak Signal’s prowess in playing and songwriting rings true, proving the New York trio only need a few instruments and some tube amps to deliver a good time.
Weak Signal will play Union Pool on January 30th, lending support to Honey and Gong Gong Gong. Stream their debut LP1 below. -Connor Beckett McInerney (@b_ck_tt)
