The 4 songs on The River Court EP set all the cards on the table. “We’re the king of hearts, the jesters ex-lover with talent under cover,” French sings passionately on the track “The Debut” about straying from the scenic route of rock stardom, diving in head first without looking back. But it’s not all business. When it comes to the poppy sing along chorus you can see they still have a lot of fun, even at the expense of themselves. “We sing because were not very good at much anything else.” The second track shows a more mature side, both musically and lyrically as they talk about past regrets, hopeful romances and a few sweet metaphors regarding water. The buddy track “Ace and Jocelyn”, with a polite nod towards college humors Jake and Amir, tells a tale of best friends and life in the small suburban city in which they live. This track dares you to think of “North East South West” without singing this catchy tune the rest of the day. That’s right, you can’t. The closing song is a re-done ‘acoustic’ version ‘Consider The Following’ The song goes where no In Lights song has gone before. Haunting strings line the pre chorus lines ‘Consider this, the last thoughts I’ll ever think of you…’ while synth and piano replace the lead parts of the song, making the song, in the end, an eerie yet beautiful masterpiece.
