Laced with an eclectic mix of songs, Common Reaction is accessible by even the most difficult to please of music enthusiasts. The girls merge ambient synths with bass lines that snap and sultry vocals with heart pounding beats with ease. This is an album you can sing and dance to.
It's so much fun to be able to start with a drum track and literally build something out of nothing. I'm really drawn to layering instruments and seeing how they all relate to one another. - Camila Grey
The girls play multiple instruments, which enables them to layer each song with distinct signature style. Though they didn’t set out to write pop songs, these tracks are undeniably catchy and one can’t help but to be reeled in by their melodic qualities. Grey, who is no stranger to the studio, lends her producing talent to the album as well. It is obvious that each track is carefully crafted and perfected and yet there is an organic feel and flow to the record that is both humble and inviting.
"Not A Love Song" is the first single off the record and can easily be spun in clubs, "Covered" is more of a layered rock song with Grey and Hailey's super smooth vocals overlapping each other and “Explode” is melodic with a consistent twisting synth line.
Definitely a plethora of tracks that would make for awesome remixes. Have a listen . . .

Love it. Thanks for reviewing it. These girls bring something new to electro-pop. The lyrics are in-your-face; nothing to hide; not just sounds. They explore the ups and down and in-betweens. Good music; good sounds.

you're right, it's very open songwriting. if you like this album you should check out their previous release "I See Red." [has the original versions of a few tracks on it plus two tracks not on "Common Reaction."
