Album Review
27's roots in guitar rock bands like the Dirt Merchants and Spore offer no indication of the raw power and beauty to be found on Animal Life — its grim yet ethereal sound occupies the space between the wasted blues-rock of fellow Bostonites Come, and the slow-motion psychedelia of Mazzy Star and Low, complete with electronic textures and eclectic samples that ultimately render such comparison points moot. Maria Christopher's sensuous, impassioned vocals are the focal point here, but Ayal Naor's guitar leads are remarkably expressive as well, shifting effortlessly from to chiming atmospherics to crunching drones — the songs rise, curl, and twist like smoke from a cigarette.

Hard to Find, Totally Worth It
by XGP15 A-II Outlaw StarThe only reason I even discovered this cd/band is because of a Dew Tour vid I got off the Playstation Store (don't worry I'm not promoting them or anything). It gave me a taste of what turned out to be "Sky Walker." All I had to go on was the lyrics I could make out. Luckily someone asked the question on Yahoo Answers, "What song has these lyrics?" etc. "Sky Walker" by 27 was the answer. Then I searched up and down for the song but all that would come up was Star Wars crap. When I originally searched on iTunes, I couldn't even find it. Now that I have, I can see how great this band is and I'm definitely going to look into their other CD's.
Now for the actual review: this CD is excellent. It has an extremely mellow and calming feel. Think Modest Mouse - their lyrics + Aimee Mann + Mark Knopler + Eisley to give you an idea. Sky Walker is my personal favorite. It's so haunting and beautiful. Heat Sink is also really endearing. I can't wait to hear more from 27.
def yes
by mobhausi saw these guys live a few years back and remembered this album. its so freakin good. a life of its own. get it
Really chilled out rock album
by IneveruseitunesIf you like chilled out music with really nice female vocals, definitely give this one a shot. A bit eccentric and hard to get into a first (maybe), it's definitely a grower and great for a lazy day. Saw these guys open for Isis and they put on a really interesting show as well.
