Review:
This debut EP is a bit more mellow that what I was expecting from Sparkadia, and apart from the first single, Morning Light, a lot of the tracks are relatively new material. I must admit that it took me a couple of listens to fully appreciate the off-beat drumming on the first instrumental track, Voyage, but once I 'really' heard it I was hooked. Lots of melodies, and impressively, lead singer, Alex Burnett, mixes all but one of the EP's tracks. Based on this EP I can't wait to see them again.
