Local Reviews: The Annuals
Local Music Reviews
Soulful and sweet, The Annuals create a soft alt-country heart-felt emotional vibe. Drifting with layers of mandolin, harmonica, bitchin’ upright bass, and humble female backup vocals, they’re rollin’ with a basic rock foundation that really kicks ass. Noteworthy are the great singing and songwriting. Sonically, the drum and bass tones sound delicous in the tracking, but seem dummed down in the mix. This recording definitely concetrates on the guitar varieties and vocals, not so much on the full sound effect. Regardless, it’s a nice lazy-afternoon disc.
