Shallow Side Shows It Is Ready To Break Out With Its New LP, ‘Reflections’
Independent hard rock band Shallow Side released its latest album earlier this month. The release of the new album, Reflections (the band’s third album) came July 19, almost two years after the band unveiled its lead single, ‘The Worst Kind.’ That single and its follow-ups – ‘You’re The Reason’ and ‘Filters’ (which collectively make up the album’s first three tracks) – are good examples of the role that the album’s musical and lyrical content play in the album’s overall presentation. They are just some of the songs that serve to show the role of that collective content to make Reflections worth hearing. ‘Antilight,’ which comes much later in the album’s run, is one more example of the noted strength. It will be discussed shortly. ‘No One Wins,’ another later entry, continues to exhibit the important role of the album’s overall content and will be examined a little later. Joining that duo is the likes of ‘Over,’ which is part of the album’s first half. It will also be examined later. When it is considered alongside the other songs noted here, its existing trio of singles and the rest of the album’s entries, the whole therein makes Reflections a record worth hearing at once and a welcome addition to this year’s field of new independent albums.
