Sir Sly is a band I barely know anything about. And they're right here in my backyard of Los Angeles. They've let out a song every few months and I'm finally on board trying to catch up. I'm not sure how familiar they are with The Neighbourhood but their sound has a striking similarity. They might be drinking from the same creative well. It's a nice blend of electronica and alternative rock with a modern twist. I think Sir Sly do get a bit darker with the background atmosphere of their tracks than The Neighbourhood. Their first EP Gold is really promising. More unknown bands need to put all their tracks for people to be fully exposed to their sound.
"Ghost" is one of my favorite tracks they've put out so far on the Ghost EP. There's been a few ghost themed songs this year. Not sure what creative energy is sending that vibe out. Anyhow, the synth backing this track is subtle but really captures your ears. I think what really works for me on this song is the lyrics. Great stuff.
"Gold" is the title song of the EP you can find most their tracks. Well there are only a few tracks at the moment but you they're all good. I think there's a lot of promise here for a fantastic first album. This song is where the similarity is really begins between Sir Sly and The Neighbourhood. Something about the tempo and the mood is a lot like "Female Robbery." Not a bad song to be compared to and this song has enough of it's own personality to keep it original.
Since I spoke about The Neighborhoud so much here's "Female Robbery" from their first EP. Just so you can compare for yourself and see the similarity.
