Album Review: Everybody Split by Possible Humans
Great, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 7.9/10
Like fellow Melbourne, Australia five-piece Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Possible Humans have a way of making tense post-punk songs feel a little brighter and more approachable than many of their peers. That's in part because the band comes to its sound via the jangle-pop highway of R.E.M. and The Feelies, where bouncing bass lines dance around staccato guitar strokes and melody usually wins out over monotone.
Based on rating 7.4/10
In the age of Bandcamp democratization, anyone with an internet connection can record, say, a collection of Dixie Chicks covers, or an hour of improvisions, and then make it public, no financial strings attached. That's how Melbourne-based five-piece Possible Humans released their 2016 debut Ringwood/Ozone, one of the more interesting pieces of Bandcamp debris to surface in the past few years. Ringwood/Ozone demonstrated the group's talent for extending mostly freeform pop across a whole record; strange and often silly, it showed off their chops without really seeming to try.
