Think Mick Jagger meets Ray Davies and you may get a glimpse into what makes this guy tick. The lanky blond singer exudes a coolness all his own, wielding a wicked blues-rock sound with his guitar.
Again, I can’t stress enough the paradoxical sounds coming from Widowspeak, with Hamilton’s emotional, airy voice blending with Thomas’s Americana-style guitar.
“Radio” punches back (again) at the 24-hour news cycle of fear (mainly FOX News). It’s clear the Palms are feeling what we’re all feeling. When will it end?
