This disc got me interested in what's going on in northern Utah, which I can't say anything else has done in recent memory. Saxophone is mixed with shredderific guitar, thoughtful melodies and some interesting vocals form this release.

This disc got me interested in what’s going on in northern Utah, which I can’t say anything else has done in recent memory. Saxophone is mixed with shredderific guitar, thoughtful melodies and some interesting vocals form this release. It’s a promising debut from this young Logan group, but a full length is a bit too ambitious. A more focused EP may have served them better. The album is interesting enough that I’d like to see a live show, though. These guys may sound a little bit too much like themselves. Paddling out into some new and uncomfortable water, in terms of structure and style, would be beneficial.
