Top Tracks
The first stand out track that immediately got my attention was “Rose of Sharon.” It’s a love song, but what’s most captivating is the instrumental sound. This song also presents a nice array of breakdowns. Next up is “Woman”, which has a funky flair to it. Its goosebumps level good. That deep “do you ever really know” adds the right attitude. The harmony and melodies were on point. This was just an overall feel good song. This song will make you miss your significant other, whether or not you have one. 😀
“October Skies” will get you lost in the composition. The lyrics take you on a journey. It’s a spiritual experience, at least for me. What the band does well is staying true to the core of their sound. Marcus is that anchor that maintains.
A track I wouldn’t easily expect to hear from the band was “Darkness Visible.” The instrumental in this song is powerful. It’s a relaxing tune, where the power of the music speaks for itself.
