MOSTLY TREES is a four piece band that hails from Minneapolis, Minnesota to be on a lookout for in the very near future.Their music is America's answer to Oasis as their reflections in their music show throughout their sound.
Also, one member of the band, Joel Korte, has a guitar pedal company by the name of Chase Bliss [www.chesebliss.com] named after his brother who was killed by a drunk driver in 2013.
The band members are: Joel Korte- Lead guitar; Dan Crowe-Rhythm guitar; Jon Po-Lead vocals, bass and John Nelson-Drums. This 9 album was Produced by Daniel Tashian [in Nashville, Tn] and Engineered and Mixed by Craig Alvin and Mastered by Pete Lyman.
ABSORB kicks off this album with a spacy like intro to this song as the band picks up the beat as the vocals come in to take you away. The song has quite a spacey feel throughout the song as they take you away to La La Land. Sweet.
NEVER BREAK still has the same type of intro as the guitar echos in this song. The melody and lyrics seem to follow their first song as they express themselves to you. Interesting.
SANDSTONE brings another vibe to the band as they are more upfront with you as the solid backbeat keeps you wanting to hear more. Is this their Stone Roses feel? Check it out for yourself. This song is spot on throughout the song. I love it.
SUN DOG once again has that Oasis feel again that is super strong throughout the song. There is no doubt, they were strongly influenced by them and their songs shine through as the band still shines through it all. So cool.
LEMONADE ends this cool album with a sweet laid back song. The melody and lyrics will have you floating away as you close your eyes with your arms swaying in the air. The melody and lyrics are superb in this song as their true vibe shines through. Once you get a 'taste' of this band, you'll be wanting more. So supercool. I'd like to THANK KRISTA. You can find the band at: Bandcamp, Spotify, Soundcloud, Pandora, Deezer, Amazon Music, You tube and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
