\"Calico<\/p>\n

Broadjam Artist: <\/b>Calico King<\/a>
Song: <\/b>Rolling Sun<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewer: <\/b>Jeff Roberts<\/a><\/p>\n

Positive Comments: <\/b>That lofi half-speed opening reminds me of Sparklehorse (I used to play with Mark Linkous in a band). On the second listen it’s really coming through as a great touch. Then so does the rap that reminds me a lot Gorillaz. Nice doubling work on vocals it adds a lot. The lyrics are excellent, and the white boy voice is working very well (no easy feat with a rap). The soft vocals on the chorus are more dramatic than a loud shout would be. Great drum groove underneath with a sweet high hat sound and work. Disclaimer: I already listened to this tune, and know who it is. Too bad this didn’t make it into the Sons of Anarchy soundtrack–woulda been perfect–it sounds vocally a lot like Matthew James (who did have song in it).<\/p>\n

Constructive Comments: <\/b>I’d drop the lead guitar under the chorus–it’s got kind of a bee in a soda can sound that’s buzzing and detracting from the flow of the chorus which is so strong on its own. I would suggest stronger rhythm guitar with a driven but not too sound. What about staccato strings playing 8ths on the chorus?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
