Pop New - LP WBRLP002 Ingrooves
Sealed 2014 Original With Custom Hype Sticker On The Shrink. “Recorded To Tape In A Log Cabin In The Wasatch Mountains Of Utah (So You Know It's Authentic), The Debut Album From Childhood Friends Jonathan Clay And Zach Chance (Jamestown Revival) Offers Up A Big, Bright, And Mellifluous Set Of Meticulously Honed, Radio-Ready, Country-Folk Confections That Blend Tight Everly/Avett Brothers Harmonies With Breezy West Coast Melodies That Invoke Names Like The Lumineers, Blitzen Trapper, Band Of Horses, And Belle Brigade. The Texas-Bred, Los Angeles-Based Duo Sound Like The Well-Oiled Machine That Their Shared History Would Indicate, And There's A Refreshing Sense Of Professionalism At Work On The 11-Track Utah That Helps To Elevate It Above Some Of The More Ramshackle, Willfully Lo-Fi Outings From Other Millennial Folk Revivalists. Clay And Chance May Have Been Raised On Woody, Waylon, And Willie, But They've Got Enough Pop Acumen To Suggest A Steady Diet Of The Eagles And Fleetwood Mac As Well, And Songs Like The Churning "California (Cast Iron Soul)," The Rowdy, Juke Joint-Ready "Revival," And The Expansive, Classic Rock-Infused Closer "Home," Manage To Feel Both Wild And Willing To Please. That Said, Utah Is Hardly A Bastion For Wooly State Fair Singalongs, As Evidenced By The Spare Instrumentation And Predilection For Contemplative Balladry In The Classic Loggins & Messina Style That Occupies The Majority Of Its 44-Minute Runtime. Clay And Chance Are First And Foremost Singer/Songwriters, And While They May Not Have The Forward-Thinking Panache Of Some Of Their Contemporaries, They've Got The Voices To Spin Just About Anything Into Gold.” AMG.... more details
