Lead single “Live From The Peppermint Store” and “Compared To What” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. There were many famous songs of David Holmes available. David Holmes’s debut, ‘Bow Down to the Exit Sign’, does not fit easily into one genre. IT makes me wanna dance!
A unique and uplifting song.
Compared To What make listening to David Holmes like being in some sort of time warp. Sick City is a very catchy tune. Within the first few notes of Drexler’s Apt - Aftermath, Afternoon it’s perfectly clear that David Holmes is living this song. Bad Thing have really caught my ear and imagination. All of songs on Bow Down to the Exit Sign and have something to say letting alone Voices, Siren, Rain. Incite A Riot is a striking and quite long song. 69 Police - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. I loved Outrun the first time I heard it. Living Room has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. One listen to the sheer beauty of Happiness was all I needed. Slip Your Skin is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Once Zero Tolerance gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. Commercial Break is probably the highlight of the album. I think Hey Lisa is the best song David Holmes has ever done.
