Sometimes when you listen to songs like Significant Other you think that probably it is not a necessary song. Ideals discovered nothing new retracing ways walked by other bands like the Killers or the Bravery, but they walk this way well. In fact to create a good scene, music needs more example of the same genre, revisited in different personal ways, and Ideals belong to a “dark-indie” (forgive me for this awful label) scene with a great sense of melancholic lyrics, monotone singing style and rock pace, I want to underline that because they can appear like a band of depressed boys and this is not the case, they are under the spell of energetic drums and industrious guitars dressed with a veil of melodrama.

Moreover Ideals formed in London in early 2010 so they are young and I’m sure they will find a more original personality, we need to grow up to understand things and find our own way, don’t we?
