The Ladybug Transistor
Can't Wait Another Day

THE REVIEW

The Ladybug Transistor are an exemplary representation of pop understood as sound, which tries to express itself in ways that endear themselves to the listener, but without believing that the one who lends an ear to the songs and knows how to receive and appreciate them, is necessarily a fool to whom you can serve any garbage with an easy chorus, four basic chords, and a barrage of blatantly commercial banalities.

And so we have outlined a profile both of the Brooklyn formation and of the one who might be the typical buyer of "Can't Wait Another Day", the sixth work, more than a decade from the start of their career and four years after the previous self-titled album.

The Ladybug Transistor lay their compositions on a changing instrumental fabric, which can be psychedelic and dreamy, delicately shoegaze, and indie rock, without neglecting the shadowy and melancholic component and keeping at least three names in mind that have made writing great songs a reason for living, namely Barry Adamson, Nick Cave, and Piano Magic, balancing orchestrations, keyboard arrangements, wind instruments, cello and Hammond, and blending it all with bass, guitar, drums and voice.

A refined album, but not constantly inspired, and which risks failing to win over an audience for whom the love of music comes from deep within the heart.
