Minibar continue to stake out their niche of respectable, but not astounding, roots rock on their second release Fly Below the Radar. Much was made of the group's faux-Americana feel in its initial press coverage, but although this does have definite folk-rock, country, and West Coast harmony influences, it's not as simple as a British band trying to play American. They play tuneful rock that has pop appeal without selling out, Simon Petty's breathy, slightly scratchy vocals projecting an inviting, world-weary, reflective warmth

Minibar continue to stake out their niche of respectable, but not astounding, roots rock on their second release Fly Below the Radar.

Album opener "It Is What It Is" sets the desert-vibe template that runs through all of Fly Below the Radar. With an air of Zen peace ("It is what it is/ There's no need for argument at all") and the autumnal chill of the guitar and keyboards, the song's pounding bridge comes as a surprise. Minibar may not wander too far from the trail, but they can find a hook in even the simplest song. Which is a good thing, otherwise Fly Below the Radar would trigger a rash of suicides.
