Skully and Ted's Bogus Journey by The Whether Channel

Welcome/welcome back to the blog! Today we’re going to be featuring The Whether Channel again, as a few weeks back they released their new EP, Skully and Ted’s Bogus Journey. 

I do have pretty decent expectations for this EP, because their previous EP was incredible! 

The EP starts with Can’t Help but Feel Like a Stranger. This has a softer sort of vibe compared to a lot of the other tracks we’ve heard from The Whether Channel. It’s a great track, and I love the tempo change between the verse and chorus. Although not a major change, it’s still noticeable and something I do appreciate. I think it’s a nice song, maybe not something I would continually reach for just because most of the time I do like faster tracks, but it’s still a belter of a track! 

The second track is Capacitance. This has a similar vibe to the previous track, the vocals give me blink-182 vibes, and I do like this track. Again, this may not be a track I’d reach for constantly, but this is still a good track and I love the vibe of this track. I think there’s so many beautiful elements within this track, and it’s definitely one worth checking it out! It’s decent and I’m a big fan of this track. I think I prefer this track to the last, and actually, although maybe not a daily rotation track, it’s one I could definitely put in weekly rotation. The tempo changes within this track are great, and really enticing and I really do rate this track. 

The first track, is titled For Lack Of. Which has a spoken intro, which I think by now, we all know I really love. This is a very soft and slow track, this is a decent enough track. It had some subtle tempo changes within it, and it’s an alright track. Definitely not my favourite track, but it’s one that I can still appreciate. This track was quite long with a listening time the tracks up nearly a 3rd of the EP’s entire length. Therefore, for me to only have my attention gripped for the last minute or so, I was a bit lacklustre but that is personal preference. It’s still a good song, but that, for me, let’s it down. 

The second to last track is Decadence. This is a great contrasting track from the previous track. This packs a decent enough punch, and is one of my favourite tracks on the EP! It’s a decent track, it’s got a great vibe to it, and it’s really enjoyable to listen to. It’s engaging, and just a generally decent track to listen to. 

The final track is There is No Body Under That Garden Officer. This has a heavier vibe to the previous tracks on the EP, and is a stand out track. This is possibly my favourite track on the EP, and I quite like how the EP has started slow and soft, but ended up with a faster pace and a heavier vibe. This change was evident on track 3 as we saw the song start soft and slow and end with a punch. This is a decent track, and one that I really enjoy. 

Overall, I’d give the EP a 4 out of 5 lemons. I like it, it’s decent. I do think I prefer the previous EP, but I do still enjoy this EP and there’s some incredible tracks on it. I’d recommend going and checking it out and it is a decent EP. It’s well worth a listen!
