Liquid Water (released 2007)
Independent Records
The Seventh Season is exceedingly prolific. I think this is the third release that I have reviewed in only about fifteen months. They also have managed to release a DVD of one of the concerts. Pretty cool. Now about this disc, it seems to be a little darker and moodier than previous efforts, but with The Seventh Season I think that this is what they have been looking for... Edgy, moody music that borders along the fence that divides classic rock, blues and modern rock. I'm still confused with the assemblage of the band, as the lead singer is the son of the bassist and seems like a talented, good looking kid that should be fronting a band consisting of kids his own age. I'm sure he'd go a lot further than the indie releases of The Seventh Season. Not that it's a bad gig having your old man in the band, as he's been there, done that... But really, shouldn't his son have the chance to experience the industry and the tribulatioins with being an indie act on his own? Maybe it's not my place to say, in fact, it really isn't, but it has always struck me as strange that Konstantin would choose to play classic rock on his own. But then again, with soaring guitar solos and a great front man voice, it fits him well. I'd like to see the band really turn towards a modern rock sound. I'm certain they could pull it off, as the two old timers in the band are very crafty, and the front man is good looking enough to pull in the ladies, which will force the fellas in the crowd to follow. This release "Liquid Water" features twelve tracks of the band's classic blues influenced rock n roll with the afore mentioned darker and moodier progression. -MG |
