A few tapes and two albums later, AOSN has released <B>Promise<\/B>, a considerable progression and a fine production. Following a short Beatle-esque intro to the LP, &#8220;No City Fun&#8221; is dark and pensive, much like the feeling of the Cure&#8217;s <B>Faith<\/B> LP. <B>Promise<\/B> is hardly a funereal procession, though, as &#8220;Hollywood&#8221; hoists the mood with its very uplifting sound, overlaying voices, a Joy Division-gone-New-Order bassline, drum tracks and driving guitar resonance. &#8220;Here Comes Everything&#8221; is an incredibly danceable blend of guitar-drenched textures, and &#8220;Every Seventh Wave&#8221; moves like a pressure wave. <B>Promise<\/B> also has a Felt-ish feel at times (songs like &#8220;Stars End&#8221;), but where Felt albums are sometimes disappointingly unchanging, AOSN challenges conformity by mixing styles, but without sacrificing unity. By mingling believably lacy and sumptuous moments with ghostly textures, <strong>Promise<\/strong> is as simple and as complex as a promise can be.
