Exploding In Sound Records really knows how to pick talented artists. Fat History Month's debut, Bad History Month, has a serious potential to be my favorite release of 2013. The entire album flows exactly as an album should. Each track connects to the next in a perfect fashion, like puzzle pieces. The acoustic guitar in the intro shines beautifully underneath some humorous lyrics, which are incredibly simple yet well put throughout. The entire album consists of only drums, guitar, and vocals. This minimalistic arsenal may come as a challenge to many artists, but not to Fat History Month. All of the guitar playing on the record gleams through the speakers with a unique reverb that sounds hot and sweaty. The summertime release is a definite justice to the album. The song structures seem to rise and fall in a somewhat similar fashion to certain post rock albums I have heard. But unlike post rock, Bad History Month never drones, it is consistently interesting. All of the lyrics seem to convey a feeling of exhausted acceptance towards life and its challenges. The last track contains several lines about understanding the value of miracles we are all born with and how many of us are still unhappy. Every time I think of this record, there is one word that constantly crosses my mind, grandiose. This album sounds big, and the message it bares undeniably so. 10/10!
