Feature by Adam Jones - MUSIC FARMER 5
A Roaring and Resilient Tribute to Musical Authenticity
Exploding onto the scene with raw energy and irrepressible passion, Big Sexy delivers an album that's akin to a seismic shift in the musical landscape. "River of Shame" is not just an album; it's a thunderous proclamation; an audacious declaration of defiance against the odds, amplified by the backing of Outside Records, a premium independent studio based out of Kiev, Ukraine.
The album kickstarts with a BANG! "Burning" is a high-octane anthem that revs up your soul and commands your attention from the get-go. But hold on, the ride's just starting. As we navigate through the album, each track unveils a different dimension, a variety of influences that craft a rich, vibrant tapestry of sound.
Then comes the title track, "River of Shame," an infectious showstopper that raises the bar with a feel-good rhythm reminiscent of The Eagles and Barenaked Ladies. And the cherry on top of this retro-inspired masterpiece? A harmonica solo that's a pure blast from the past, a charming nod to an era where such elements defined the soundscape.
Next up we have "New Mexico Nights" - a classic pop-rock gem that is bound to steal hearts. A captivating marriage of a Beatles-esque rhythm with the vocal harmonies of The Beach Boys, it's a fantastic example of the band's impressive range and versatility. This heart-wrenching narrative of parental estrangement and the relentless search for hope is a track that resonates long after the final note has faded.
The album ends with the intense "The Disposable Man," an introspective masterpiece which channels the evocative vocals of Death Cab for Cutie and Red Hot Chili Peppers, while laying down some deep jazz grooves reminiscent of Victor Wooten.
