Music Review: 8mm - Songs To Love And Die By - Page 2

At track six, "Liar", the music slows even more for a slight acoustic break where Juliette sings about someone who is lying about the love they once had.

The CD then continues the dark, yet beautiful down-tempo weave, leaving you with the final track, which is sung by both Sean and Juliette, "Forever and Ever Amen." This song is slightly different than the other songs, with it's piano instead of guitar, yet it still keeps the core 8mm feel. Keep listening to the end of the last song, there is an additional 11th track, which is strictly acoustic guitar with Sean and Juliette singing along about an adventure between heaven and hell.

As I stated earlier, 8mm has a huge following on MySpace, with even an official remix page featuring remixes of "Stunning," and with more to come in the future.

I have enjoyed 8mm since I first heard them on a fellow Detroit Podcaster's show, Digital Detroit Radio. After listening to his show, I quickly bought the EP and looked forward to this full length, as well as a future tour. I have played 8mm's songs on my own podcast, Zaldor's World, as well and I was even fortunate enough to interview Sean and Juliette in April of 2006 for my podcast (Episode 102), when they played in Pontiac, Michigan. They are just as incredible and hypnotic live as they are on the CD, and they are the most friendliest people you could meet. This CD should expose their incredible songs to an even wider audience and give them the attention they so deserve. 8mm will be touring again in 2007, they're well worth going to see if you enjoy their music, and feel free to say "Hi" to them and tell them how much you enjoy their music - They'd love to meet you!
