The Pretty Sure-Subtle Sabotage EP Review
by Tim Wenger
The Pretty Sure take high-energy indie-pop blues-rock to new heights with their EP Subtle Sabotage. On top of the fact that the album name is absolutely perfect for the music that they play, these mile-high rockers throw down some perfectly placed guitar hooks that get your head boppin’. Their entire style is based around old-school blues, straight out of a basement level Chicago dive bar.
Arlo White has the ability to sing like a rock star, or sing like a depressed bluesman after a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of whiskey, and a couple times shows both sides of that spectrum in one song. “Admiral Anything,” the second track on the disc, sounds like a sullied Black Keys track covered by Jet. The fourth track on the album, “Werewolf Blues,” has a straight guitar driven blues feel to it. The entire disc is very emotional, and great at painting pictures for the listener.
If their live show is as good at provoking feeling and foot tapping as this record, look for The Pretty Sure to become a well-respected staple of Denver’s indie rock scene.
