The follow-up ‘Faso Latido’, A Static Lullaby’s ill-fated debut (and only) major label album, finds the Californian quintet sadly treading water. Following a massive line-up shuffle that saw the departure of three members, the band have failed to return with anything that marks them out in an increasingly turgid scene. That’s not to say that A Static Lullaby don’t play the screamo game with greater aplomb than their cohorts; unlike so many of the soundalikes who have risen and fallen since ASL’s inception five years ago, these guys are fine songwriters and don’t do it by numbers. The problem being that, regardless of their abundant ability and experience, this album by default sounds old. Still, worth a look-in if you cling dear to quality purveyors the format.
