Echoes of psych, prog and garage rock resound, but each song is clearly the result of diligent experimentation. IT! was recorded this summer in Durango, and for an album made in a barn in rural Colorado, it’s anything but folksy.Gabe Allen · Jan 13, 2021FeaturesDead Amps: Where We Are Now / Harnessing the ChaosErin O’Toole isn’t Dr. Phil, but she does have a little marital advice: “If you can record an album together and remain happy,” O’Toole says, “you can survive anything.” O’Toole…Dan England · Jan 12, 2021Single & Video Review: Modern Leisure – “Rita”Modern Leisure has, once again, harnessed millennial malaise and channeled it into an achingly beautiful 3-minute track.Gabe Allen · Dec 22, 2020105.5 The Colorado Sound's Featured ArtistsThe Colorado Sound’s My5 – December 2020[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] ((( Don’t forget: each My5 title is a link.

It sounds like it was recorded at the Crossroads in the presence of the devil himself.Nate Wilde · Sep 9, 2020105.5 The Colorado Sound's Featured ArtistsThe Colorado Sound’s My5 – August 2020BandWagon Magazine · Aug 10, 2020MusicAlbum Review: Estin & The 86’D – Long Live The RiverLong Live the River by Estin & The 86’D kicks off with an ode to classic southern rock filled with pure, unadulterated attitude. With lyrics referring to being baptized in rock and roll, it’s a hell of a way to be introduced to the band. Full of emotion, great songwriting and musicianship, “Long Live the River” (out August 14) is like a stiff drink at the end of a long day.Nate Wilde · Aug 7, 2020MusicAlbum Review: Charlie Stevens – Charlie StevensCharlie Stevens by Charlie Stevens is the first official album release from Northern Colorado’s young bluegrass extraordinaire of the same name.Cole Peterson · Aug 6, 2020105.5 The Colorado Sound's Featured ArtistsThe Colorado Sound’s My5 – July 2020BandWagon Magazine · Jul 16, 2020MusicEP Review: Polyakov – HazyDream pop, as a genre, has a home in Northern Colorado, and in a way has come to represent the leisurely stroll through anxiety you get from living here.Laura Giagos · Jul 8, 2020
