Indian Red Lopez’s debut album “Empty Your Lungs and Breathe” is an album of creativity and diversity. Creating sounds from various genres including dance, indie and electro, Indian Red Lopez generate layers in their music. The marriage of calming yet powerful vocals and exciting guitar riffs with electro undercurrents sets the album up to take two forms. It is an album to listen to when you simply want to relax and let the music take you away, yet doubles up as a foot tapping thrilling compilation of sounds to get excited about.

Every track in “Empty Your Lungs and Breathe” manages to grab the attention of the listener and owns their own stand out quality. Not one song passes off as simply an “album track”. Effortlessly clever lyrics combined with fantastic musicianship create a flow amongst the tracks. Simple beginnings followed by chilling build ups lend an eerie atmosphere to the album. Tracks like “The new black” bring a rocky sound while others such as “Ropes” combine chill out with melodic vocals and passionate instrumental build ups to bring another, more tranquil feel to the album.

Named in Vic Galloway’s Top 50 Scottish Acts of 2010, along with artists such as Teklo and Milk, Indian Red Lopez are set to have a promising future. And with the talents brought by the all members of the band allowing such an innovative sound to thrive they are totally deserving of it.

Air3 highly recommends buying this album and hearing for yourself the exciting prospects it brings.
