Arbouretum: Coming Out Of The Fog
By Track review of "The Promise""The Promise" is a prime example of the artists' solid compositional acumen, where harmonious melody lines uncannily transform into haunting hooks and menacing viewpoints. Here, they instill semblances of a doomsday mindset, but all in good fun. Brian Carey's heavy drums, Heumann's loud grunge-rock chunka-chunka chord clusters and a searing solo spot offer a step back in time, hearkening remembrances of vintage psychedelic jamming.
The ensemble intertwines antiquity with a distinct stylization that looks toward the future. Indubitably entertaining with songs that stick, the band contrasts the memorable riffs by refusing to play it safe. Hence, it's one of the premier differentiators that generate the rewarding results.
