Director – 'Reconnect' (Atlantic) Released 24/04/06

There are boxes nicely ticked here.  Director – classy name for a band. 'Reconnect' – a promising title for a moody, melancholy indie track.  On listening we have atmospheric guitar and strong vocals with just the right mix of pained vulnerability and confidence.  The formula is classic glum-rock too, with slower maudlin verses bursting in to a more abrasive fairly catchy chorus.  It’s a formula that’s been done well by many a band of late, but Director don’t quite bring it totally alive.  Extra track 'She Saying Things' is pretty good though, probably the better track.
