Morning Bear
by Tim Wenger
Soft, intricate, and real- that is how the new EP from Morning Bear (John Runnels) hits. Runnels walks a fine line of emotional expression through both lyricism and guitar work on the record. A clear demonstration of a musician influenced heavily by his surroundings, the music has a unique Colorado flair to it- I caught my mind drifting from being stuck in the urban confines of downtown Denver or being lost up into the mountains based on where Runnels takes his lyrics. Very emotive, straight to the soul, carves his music. An enjoyable listen.
