Album of the Week: Sadnecessary

Editor's note: The following is part of a regular feature in The Buzz spotlighting a new or interesting album.

By Luke Arsenault Group: Milky Chance Album: Sadnecessary Genre: pop/folk/rock Similar Groups: The Black Keys, Citizen Cope Bio: Milky Chance is a group composed of Clemens Rehbein and Philipp Dausch. They attended the same secondary school in Germany and began making music together in a jazz quartet before forming their own band. Sadnecessary is their debut studio album released in late 2013. Luke’s Opinion: This album is very unique partly due to Rehbein’s interesting voice. Having both low and upbeat songs, there is a part of this album for every mood. Between the catchy choruses and subtle but driving beats, there are barely any songs that don’t please the listener. At first, some of the songs seem a little bit too similar, however as you pick out more of the background music, each song will prove itself worthy of being on this great album. Best Tracks: “Flashed Junk Mind,” “Stolen Dance,” “Down by the River” What do you think of this album? Let us know in the comments or via Twitter @BranfordBuzz
