Album Review

Pete McAllen – Optical Illusion

• 26th Aug 2008

A lively and expressionistic piece of music. Pete McAllen has enough vibe and vigour to keep this 6 part EP together. Six Tracks are always a curious beast – to leave you wondering if an artist is going for extended single or they didnt have enough material to produce an album.

The material is certainly devoid of repetition. ‘One Chance’ is certainly a wonderous construct. Pulling on more orchestral and accoustic types of strings than the electric type. McAllen swings between moody and loud with ease.

A worthy addition to any collection.
