There’s something very seductive about female vocals delivered in a deadpan way, like in The Tablets‘ songs, as if the lady behind the mic wanted to implcitly let you know that she is too detached and confident to be bothered by anything, YOU in particular. The Brooklyn band’s drone-pop develops on singer Liz Godoy’s simple melodies and her band mates gentle dreamy fluorishes, while a spare drum machine contributes in preventing the overall sound from getting too "human." That’s at least what we hear in the ban’ds recent single ‘Swallow The Rival’ (streaming) from the EP ‘Ground.’
