| The Low
Life
Thixotropic (self-released)
by Corey J. Feldman
The Low Life mix head-bobbing rock,
funk, and reggae grooves and top them with the buttery vocals
of singer/guitarist Evan Bliss. And while it’s easy
for many axe-wielders to use common chords in common ways,
Bliss and fellow guitarist Karim Baki incorporate standard
chords in creative and more complicated ways than the average
rock band. Yet, in spite of its more complex progressions,
Thixotropic is a party album with upbeat, fun songs
that are at times humorous and at other times, just plain
old catchy. I cracked up listening to “Fiona,”
thanks to silly couplets like “I love you so/but you
act like such a ho.” “Every Little Thing”
is another humorous song about waking up with no concept
of what happened to you last night. |
