The Swayback- Double Four Time
by Tim Wenger
The Swayback keep their mellow alt-rock sound alive with their new LP Double Four Time. The band leans heavily on William Murphy and Adam Tymn for a guitar-driven sound that epitomizes the current state of the Denver rock scene.
The title track “Double Four Time” is the best song on the record, hooking the listener with James Brown-like funktified vocals from front man Eric Halborg, with guitar riffs following suit. The 12-song album flows from start to finish with the smoothness of a composed river flowing through a bustling city, serving as an unruffled haven for those fortunate enough to stumble upon it. “Mojave,” the tenth song, is another strong track displaying Halborg’s vocal talent.
The Swayback has been together for a decade now, and their music is reflective of the seasoned musicians that make up the group. They have a bit of a college-radio rock sound present to coincide with a light dose of trippy Cure-esque guitar that makes this a difficult album to turn off. Catch them live at Higher Ground Music Festival August 24-26
