Tim Yunker and the Sound Junkies-Fathom
by Tim Wenger
Tim Yunker and the Sound Junkies don’t play what you’d expect them to play. The vocals are a bit jazzy and a bit funky with a dash of hip-hop flare, sitting on of drum-driven, full band beats. The songs are mellow but possess a flare of energy that makes them danceable.
The group reps Colorado as well as anyone, seemingly reflecting the urban spice of our city while bringing out what makes the 303 the place to be. This record is, undoubtedly, one of the most unique submissions we’ve received here at CMB.
These guys have a truly unique sound. I kept expecting the songs to jump into a faster tempo with hard-hitting rapping becoming the dominant force, but they never left the mother ship of smooth, tripped out rhythms that make their music unique. The record left me feeling excited; I have finally found a group that stands out amongst the often-mundane masses of music being thrown upon the modern world.
