IDENTITY

Identity is a fine album for everybody that can't get enough of NoMan's recent albums or Nosound's LightDark. Also people that are tired of waiting for the new Anathema might be kept at peace for a little while with this.

Airbag come from Norway and are compared to Gazpacho. I haven't listened a lot to that band yet but I'd say there is indeed a similarity. Both bands cite the same obvious references: the laidback sound of Pink Floyd mixed with strong indie influences from Radiohead.

Generally this is run of the mill indie pop-prog that has little or no elements that make it stand out above anything else in the field. It's an ok album, but to give if it anything above 3 stars, I miss a bit of 'Identity'. (Damn, I had so sworn not to make a joke of the album title!)
