The Knew - “Boom Bust”
I have just four words for you. Play. This. Record. Loud.
I have been a huge fan of The Knew since first seeing them at a Larimer Lounge BBQ about a year ago and I am quite relieved to say that the latest release from the Denver-based group is fantastic.
These four fellas have an innate knack for blues based rock. It is classic without being tired. Energetic without being overdone. The addition of some more ambient sounds (fancy pants guitar stuff, harmonica, synth, and some sax I think too.) broadens their scope without detracting from their seemingly trademarked sound.
From the first song, By Yourself, the syncopation will start your feet tapping. And when the guitars kick in your non-dancing days just may be over. Coldblack, a track halfway through the EP, has even more haunting vocals and doesn’t slow down a bit. This album invokes dancing. It’s a whole record of wild, sweaty, exhausted and ridiculously satisfying music from beginning to end. Well done boys, well done.
