Album Review: Generationals - Heza

On their third album in five years, Heza, New Orleans’ Generationals relaxes. But while enjoyable, this easy-going set of tunes is ultimately forgettable.

Heza’s tracks are mostly built on a mixed foundation of organic percussion and electronic beats. Clear, spacious rhythms keep the songs sounding open and the hazy vocal melodies lend a sleepy daydream tone.

It’s actually quite agreeable. Tunes like “You Got Me” and “Awake” inspire deep, relaxing breathes; however, the calmness can be a double-edged sword.

Friday night may have been Generationals' first time in Raleigh, but the packed house at White Collar Crime hardly needed any introductions.

The wall-to-wall crowd danced their collective asses off with the band's driving beats and pulsating stage lights as their soundtrack as the New Orleans-based quintet plowed through a 45-minute set composed of many songs from their 2011 release, Actor-Castor.
