Two Tongues = Say Anything + Saves the Day
This complilation / side project featuring two members of Say Anything and two members of Saves the Day came out on February 3rd. I'm very sorry to say that I have only recently acquired it. Say Anything is very top 10 for me, so I have been very much looking forward to this.
From what I have heard so far it seems pretty epic, albeit not quite as epic as Say Anything's previous work. Admittedly, I don't know much about Saves the Day, but from what I have heard of their singer on this disc they seem pretty good. Initially, I'd have rather just listened to Max Bemis of Say Anything, but after hearing this album, I think I'll have to go check out some Saves the Day-- which I guess was the point of this release
Two Tongues sounds grittier and less produced than the Say Anything albums. The dual singers definitely have synergy, and in some ways I feel that this is a sort of further exploration of the theme that Max had going on
In Defense of the Genre, where he had a guest singer on every single track of the album. Stylistically it's very similar, but has enough unique flare to stand on its own. Also, I can't find it listed anywhere, but I'm pretty sure that the track "Interlude" features vocals from Stacy Lynn DuPree of
Eisley.
Overall this feels like a very fun little side project and a nice extra dose of Max Bemis for me until a new Say Anything record comes out that I can go ga-ga over.
Get Two Tongues on Amazon MP3.
