Communique - Poison Arrows @ Score! Music Magazine

	Communique - Poison Arrows
	Location	Oakland
	Initial Impression	Infectious, dance-y, fun indie/punk with a nice dollop of pop.
Notable Lyric	"On the road I'm on my own/A tired and restless soul/As I've aged most dreams and loves have died away/But I still wake to find you next to me/Babe you've got my heart."
Factoid	Four of the guys of Communique previously did time in the punk band American Steel. The band is now rounded out by keyboardist Cory Gowan.
Serve With	Miles of open road, a club with plenty of dance space, or a subdued candlelit evening with your significant other.
Comments	After releasing the EP A Crescent Honeymoon, the guys of the fabulously-named Communique are back with their impressive full-length debut, Poison Arrows, a stylish, well-produced 10-song affair. Poppy indie rock is evident throughout the record - some songs are keyboard-driven ("My Bay", the intricate and catchy "Evaporate", "Ouija Me"), some are more placid (the tender, lulling finale "Rattling Bones"; the laid-back "Strays" with its bittersweet lyrics including those mentioned above), while still others are more energetic (the highly danceable opener "The Best Lies"; "Perfect Weapon", which possesses a very '80s vibe; "Dagger Vision"). But whatever feel or tone each song possesses, they're all worth a listen.
