The Beat - Drowning

Review by Ana Cabrera

Drowning by Beat is an album that showcases the musical talents of the band in a unique and mesmerizing way. The album features a variety of songs that range from upbeat and energetic to slow and contemplative, providing a diverse listening experience for the audience.

The band's use of electronic beats and haunting melodies creates an ethereal atmosphere that draws the listener in, making it impossible to resist the urge to move to the music. The vocals are powerful and emotive, conveying the depth of the lyrics with ease.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Lost at Sea," which features a driving beat and melancholic lyrics that paint a vivid picture of a person struggling to find their way in life. Another highlight is "Drowning," which features a haunting melody and lyrics that touch on the theme of loss and letting go.

This was the second record I ever bought from Woolworths as a 10 yyr old in 1981, a couple of months after I bought my first record Return of the Los Palmas 7 by Madness, I am going to see The Beat in July.
