Paisley based three-piece Dilectrics describe themselves as Indie pop-rock and has Biffy Clyro, Brand New and Newton Faulkner listed as their influences.
The title track begins with nothing but vocals, which lets you focus on how strong they actually are.
The powerful vocals carry the lyrics well: “I’m waiting for a sign, you said you’d get back to me, even though I’ve landed on my feet, this isn’t luck, this isn’t lucky, it just so happens to be” as you can hear the emotion in Craig Blyth’s voice.
‘Footsteps Uneven’ is essentially a ballad, the simple acoustic style helps you focus on the vocals and truly appreciate the lyrics; this is one that’ll have the crowds singing along with their lighters in the air when it’s played live.
‘At Your Door’ has a more indie rock feel to it than the other songs, Blyth’s vocals with a Glasgow twang, accompanied by James McMillan’s drumming and Connor Hughes bass help create an indie anthem that’ll have you singing its catchy chorus long after it’s finished playing.
Essentially, Better With Time is a great attempt, with every chance to propel Dilectrics further into the scene than they already are.
