A very light, airy and positively Summery record. Contriva are a German instrumental 4 piece trading in troublefree inoffensive guitar based pop music. Sounding not unlike a modern update of a funk-free fire engines or a poppier Durutti Column, this is all very pleasant and easy going - only becoming dull on the two overtly ordinary sounding tracks that feature a vocal. Being neither melancholy nor overtly positive, it sits firmly betwixt the two, and is thus a perfect metaphor for how i'm feeling today - the sun's out and i neither want to destroy the world nor embrace it wholeheartedly. But that's me all over i s'pose, and you shouldn't hold it against Contriva.
