Take to the Oars- CD Review
by Tim Wenger
It has been a hectic twelve months for Take to the Oars. What with playing Red Rocks, being on the cover of Colorado Music Buzz, and performing a number of other big gigs around the metro area, it’s almost hard to believe that the Denver based rockers had time to record a new EP. It happened, though, and the seven tracks that make up The Bow & The Stern are delivered straight, with no filler, staying true to the melodic alt-rock sound the band has become known for.
“White Noise” is the catchiest tune on the record, despite most of the immediate attention being paid to “Morning Coffee.” The track is filled with solid lead guitar and picturesque vocals from front man Ryan Gombeski.
Each song on the album tells a story, and the instrumentation does its’ part to paint the intended picture firmly into the mind of the listener by not over killing the tempo. Remaining placid and full throughout the album, Take to the Oars is able to maintain complete control over the emotion delivered through their music.
