Morrissey With A Tan
Drenched in despair and anguish with pain oozing from each line, Mighty Six Ninety could be easily overlooked as another group of Smiths followers who kneel at their very own Morrissey shrine. Then steps in their other influences; the mesmerising electro of Depeche Mode and the soaring up tempo allure of Talk Talk and suddenly they sound like The Smiths, with a tan. You can not escape the very distinct British sound of the LA band; it leaps out from every direction. But that is not all there is to Mighty Six Ninety. 'Keeping You In Mind' generates a euphoric sense of grandeur as it creates a sweeping soundscape that weaves its way into your subconscious.
Jingling its way into anthemic territory, 'With Me' clings to the same enthralling charm shown through 'Keeping You In Mind', offering pain addled lyrics amidst flourishing melodies and teasing beats. Sticking very much to their indie roots, 'Keeping You In Mind' may prove a hard to come by track with only 500 hand numbered 7" being released; a case of get in quick before you miss out on the tantalising thrall of Mighty Six Ninety.
