"Confusing in its ability to cross and combine genres, the young band Debutaunts’ first full-length album ‘Why Can’t We Have Fun’ combines electronic production with catchy throwback alterna-pop songwriting. Electronic beats and production usually suggests a dance-like vibe, but for Debutaunts, the vocal effects and pulse-like beats are merely another layer that defines their sound—a confusing sound at first, but enjoyable once gotten used to.
Both the first single “Everything’s Perfect” and “As Long As You Want Me” feel like they could easily be hits—the first due to its catchy melody and the latter because of its dark electronic sound. “Principles” sounds like it could have been a chart-topper several decades ago in the ‘60s with its pseudo-Beatles pop sound. Other songs play with meter and hand clapping to add interest and clout to their composition.
In an industry where autotune and electronic effects are often used to mask deficiency, the use of effects left me wondering what the band was hiding for a while, especially since the band’s style doesn’t call for an electronic sound—they use tambourine and strings in their songs for goodness’ sake—but in the end, their sound is interesting and fun enough to earn my trust. Debutaunts knows how to craft an album that manages to sound like indie-rock and club music at the same time." - The Album Project
