Origami Angel - Gami Gang
Posted: 2/7/2023 by Hunter Rowe ( See All) Show: Wednesday from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM(2021) This is technically Origami Angel's second album following up the very well-received Somewhere City and it manages to deliver in every way.
Origami angel found their sound in Somewhere City and just kept working and experimenting with their styling to give this album the Origami Angel sound that will continue to develop I hope.
This song is a very good listen as at no point do the songs nor the album feel like they overstay any welcomes and allow themselves to run to completion without anything holding them back.
This album feels like the Musical equivalent of a film like Clerks or Superbad where it was made by teenagers/20-somethings not going for quality but making what they wanted to make and creating mostly quality along the way. The laid-back feel of this whole album puts you in a very good mood to listen to these winey 20-somethings talk about their möbius chicken strips and their mach bikes.
You can tell when listening to this album that the band had a lot of fun making the album whether it's little laughs and banter at the end of a recording or just within the song the band has overall good chemistry.
All praises aside this album does still manage to have a few stinkers throughout as most projects do but even at these lowest points, you'll still have a lot of fun with the album. The lowest points on this album are just a few tracks that aren't as catchy or interesting as the other songs. But many of these dull moments are fought by the amazing production and fun of the songs in this album. The production is clean and sounds great for this band and really allows everyone in the band to shine with what they make.
Playing off of the lightheartedness of the album is the fact that this album is funny whether it be by naming tracks things like "Noah Fence", and "Bed Bath & Batman Beyond to adding samples from tv shows such as Jimmy Neutron to the end of songs just makes the album feel like a fun little trip from start to finish.
This album arguably brings it all to the table with some relatable emo/pop-punk lyrics, great production and performance from the band, a few laughs, and even some very catchy melodies this feels like a project that you could defiantly go back in time, and time again in full or just go with a handful of songs to put into your everyday rotation. I feel like this album set a lot of good things in place for the future of Origami Angel and I'm excited to see where they move from here.
GAMI GANG by Origami Angel is a very solid album that I would give a 7.5/10
