User Album Review
Released on November 10, 2017, on RCA Records, Walk The Moon’s third offering is a smooth continuation of its Alternative Rock/New Wave/Indie Pop combo sensibilities. It begins with “Press Restart,” whose Kraftwerk-ian intro builds up into a 2000s Guitar Pop angularity. This is followed by the cheer-type, power-driven, grungy rhythm of “Headphones,” the album’s second single that has a faint echo of The Fall (“Cruiser’s Creek”) and Long Fin Killie (“The Heads of Dead Surfers”). Then there is the first single, “One Foot,” which builds on the Dance Rock/Pop Punk–style of “Shut Up and Dance,” followed by “Surrender” in the same pulse and heartbeat.
Finally, Walk The Moon closes What If Nothing aptly with the bundle of sonic joy “Lost in the Wild,” which will definitely make New Wavers – from the good ol’ Simons to the flowery Brandons – lose their sense of abandon as soon as they have surrendered themselves to the shimmering sound and style of this swansong.
Its latest trajectory proves that Walk The Moon has not lost the chops to catapult itself further not only onto the moon of awards and accolades but also into the pantheon of shiny Pop/Rock stars. CrypticRock gives What If Nothing 4 out of 5 stars.
