Chad Price’s resume is quite colorful and exceptional. He was recruited as the third lead singer for the punk legends All in 1993, and by the late \u201990s he was finding interest in alt-country ideas and formed Drag The River with Jon Snodgrass. More recently, he\u2019s been fronting A Vulture Wake, and he\u2019s got a couple solo albums mixed in there as well. <\/p>\n
Here, Price entertains his interest in prog-influenced songwriting, where a new band who he met while singing for an All cover band help him find new avenues to explore. <\/p>\n
The pretty and dreamy \u201cFawn\u201d begins the listen with dreamy guitar and Price\u2019s gritty but tuneful pipes alongside Cory West\u2019s elegant drumming in a crunchy Americana setting. \u201cRose\u201d follows with a bit more muscle that touches on Price\u2019s punk past with roots flavor, while the intimate and poetic \u201cRainbow\u201d is all heart and soul. <\/p>\n
The middle tracks bring us the shifting tones of the rock opera \u201cSunflower,\u201d plus the alt-country spirit of the cautious \u201cTongue,\u201d where Anthony Medici\u2019s bass helps the tune build into a powerful album highlight. <\/p>\n
The back half of the record leads with the bare, folk song craft of the emotive \u201cTell Me,\u201d thought it isn’t long until \u201cA.M.\u201d finds itself in fuller territory, where vocal harmonies and swirling guitars fuel the more rugged areas of rock. <\/p>\n
\u201cWake Me\u201d and \u201cAlchemists\u201d close out the record. The former is strong on storytelling and pairs calm, mysterious moments with dense and soaring guitar solos, and the latter is just Price\u2019s sincere voice and cozy guitar in a raw recording.<\/p>\n
An artist who was a skate punk hero to many decades ago, Price is still making important music that\u2019s thoughtful, relatable and eclectic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":35360,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[11121],"rating":[5613],"class_list":["post-47253","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-chad-price-peace-coalition","rating-rating-a-minus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/47253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/47253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=47253"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=47253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
