AP Track Review:
Can't Do It Alone by New Yorker by way of Nebraska- singer-songwriter guitarist Joe Gomez is a kind of shape-shifty rocker with jazz and R & B flavors built around singular guitar / horn hooks and vox that ride on the edge of exasperation. The passionate jamming falls way to pools of sweet psychedelia and fused hybrid sounds. The aesthetic feels kind of free form and when the time signature changes again you are not surprised but gleeful, as horns dance and sway. The drums act as an arbiter pushing and pulling on the tempo in a very cool way twisting the flavors into ever so brief trip hop tones. It is a heady cool ride. I will have the horn / guitar riff in my head for a while while I try to wipe the silly grin off my face.
Joe Gomez just released the "Delta" EP available on Spotify, Amazon and Apple Music.
