This Nashville duo is no newbie when it comes to finding their own sound, although there is a reminiscent feel to the album drawing comparisons to Ben Gibbard and Band of Horses. There are new sounds to be heard throughout the album from the first track “Skulls” that opens in brief acapella to the last “Judas” with a harsh closing statement of “I am not damaged, just discouraged.”Ellen Hamilton · Apr 3, 2017Neon psychedelic album art of a sunrise over water with bold "Rise and Shine" lettering and sea coral.MusicAlbum Review: Kris Lager Band – Rise and ShineRise and Shine is another big step forward for the Kris Lager Band and offered fans a satisfying place to return to.Andrew Stiegler · Apr 3, 2017Six men pose with German Shepherds against a plain backdrop, some dogs snarling and others sitting calmly.New on 94.3 The XNew on 94.3 The X: ‘Songs You Need to Hear’New on 94.3 The X this month from Portugal.
