Equal parts Shoegazer and Hard Rock, Billionaire's tasteful alternative rock thunder is compelling. Chiming, delayed guitars quietly protest pop's celebratory cheer in the verses, while the rhythm section displays equally sideways-glancing hesitation with its brisk yet hushed timekeeping. Choruses offer complete catharsis: guitars explode in a crushing, dreamy melodic attack, while rhythms swerve in a straight line through linear, pounding grooves. If there's any justice, Billionaire will be huge -- they wed sophisticated musicianship with radio-ready accessibility, and still avoid rock redundancy.
