Description
Typhoons kicks off with a stomping and catchy guitar riff that smoothly transitions into a disco beat, showcasing producer Josh Homme's expert touch. He successfully merges Royal Blood's rock sound with his own style, seamlessly blending oversized guitars with irresistible hooks and beats, a signature move of his from working with Queens of the Stone Age to the Desert Sessions. Despite embracing this more playful and bold aesthetic, Royal Blood doesn't lose their edge and power, as evident in the electrifying "Boilermaker". While Typhoons may not have the same raw garage sound as their previous albums, it's not lacking in energy or heaviness. The duo's rhythms have a lively swing and their delivery exudes a confident swagger, making it all the more appealing. For the first time, Royal Blood seems to be having fun, and that infectious feeling translates into their music.
