Ando Gro- Half Life
by Thom Jackson
Ando Gro has the harmonic pop thing down. His new record, Half Life, combines soothing and mellow instrumentation with Gro’s dominant mid-tempo vocals. The strongest song is the album’s title track. The song is very ambient yet somehow remains emotionally moving, a trait Gro employs throughout the record, and contains enough of a solid drumbeat that the song could easily fall into the ‘light rock’ or ‘pop’ categories.
It is good to see his music evolving because, as he says in the catchy opening track, “Everything changes” and those who don’t grow get left behind. Look for the album out August 27.
