Cavanaugh – Far From Chicago
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
Far From Chicago is an EP from Cavanaugh, a Swedish band that would probably squeeze itself into one of the Rock/pop genres. It is difficult to say where exactly though, as this EP has a nice mix of sounds. Rock/pop will have to do; music with enough “pop” to appeal to those who aren’t generally fans of the harder music, but also enough on the “rock” side of things to distinguish themselves from other bands in the genre.
Anywho, now that we’ve established that I suck at putting things into genres, lets take a quick rundown of the six tracks:
Come Look For Me – A nice solid start to the EP.
Long Gone – A pleasant piano pop-rock song. Kind of sounds like something The Fray might do (except unlike The Fray, Cavanaugh have songs that don’t all sound the same!)
Get It Right – Switching from softer piano rock right back into stronger stuff. Again very pleasant.
Little Things- Much like Come Look For Me and Get It Right, more on the rock side, with dashes of ear-friendly characteristics. (God, that made absolutely no sense)
Far From Chicago – The title track from this EP is a simple acoustic-y one, with a catchy and powerful chorus.
Fade Away – Personal favourite song of the EP
All in all, Far From Chicago provides with a very enjoyable 20-or-so minutes of music. Oh, and did I mention that it is available for FREE AND LEGAL downloading? No? Well it’s in the web address. GOD, DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING? >:(
But anyway, feel free to download the EP here.
