Sir Sly is a band that I discovered through their debut album, You Haunt Me. They're an alternative/indie pop/rock band who sounds exactly the same as The Neighbourhood. I don't mind the comparison or similarities as they are both good. Also, if I didn't fall in love with The Neighbourhood, I wouldn't have liked this band. They're vocals as well as the general haunting feel of the songs are creepily the same.
But personally, I prefer Sir Sly's music by a bit. Their songs seemed to relate to my life and their lyrics are just well-written.
Floods is my personal favorite off the album. Despite its repetitive chorus, it works to make you feel that certain emotion when someone you love has left. The line "Now you're gone" echoes throughout the song and creates a feeling of nostalgia.
Songs like Found You Out and Ghost can bring out some of your highest and worst emotions as they convey lyrics that are very relate-able. Their lead single, You Haunt Me, sets the right tone for what the rest of the album sounds like.
The entire album is quite dark in nature and you'll definitely like it if you're into bands like The Neighbourhood and The 1975. They also have a tinge of hip-hop infused with their songs. But no need to worry about random rappers appearing at the middle of the songs.
This masterpiece is one of my favorites of this year.
