Brooklyn rockers Fast Years will release their debut EP Women on June 25. The EP starts out on a tear with the guitar-driven “Young Heart” which certainly packs a jangly punch. Women then segways nicely into the incredibly hooky surf tune, “Let Me Try”. Things mellow out on the next few tracks giving the album a nice flavor. “Fall For Me” is an exceedingly dynamic, but pleasantly tight track where nothing is wasted. The melodies are woven masterfully with a true knack for Pop – something that Fast Years seem to do effortlessly. “Like It Or Not” is more nostalgic and without doubt leaves me with a John Frusciante sort of feel (this song is really a delight). The album takes another turn with “Stolen Love”, which delivers a vibrant and energetic track. The closing number, “Happy Hour” offers up some healthy refrains and more of those guitar sounds that are so distinctive to Fast Years. Highly relatable lyrics is another quality that makes this EP ever more relevant and significant to the listener – spurring periods of pondering, reflection, and maybe even preparation for some looming event that might just be meandering beyond your awareness. – By Trevor Meyer
