    This is a strong debut for The Lone Bellow. Emotionally honest lyrics are coupled with simple and driving melody and beats to make an enjoyable listen. My only complaints are that some of the songs are too similar and that a few of the melodies could be varied to be improved.

    The Lone Bellow explores the tensions inherent to love and its unpredictable swings from high to low, sublime to greasy.

    This is a solid debut, made by a band that arrives fully formed and has a great future.

    The trio shape folk, gospel and blues influences into straight-ahead roots rock somewhere between the Lumineers and Lady Antebellum.
