Those Mockingbirds’ hybrid alternative rock is likely to resonate with fans of both country and emo grunge. Their southern accented riffs are complemented by sugary harmonies, making for a wonderfully raw listen that is both engaging and accessible.
Their new single “Model Myself” busts out of the gate with a colorful guitar line, preparing the listener for the storm of lyrical fuzz and plaintive melodies that quickly follow. It is a blinding showcase of the bands strengths; well-crafted hooks imbued with heavenly distortion. The song is laid down with taste and confidence and is an excellent barometer of the other material on their newest full length release Penny the Dreadful.
Penny the Dreadful is out July 1st and boasts ten tracks that easily veer from lush, singer-songwriter blues to grandiose garage rockers. While I wouldn’t classify their sound as eclectic, Those Mockingbirds deliver a wide variety of sounds, and would not be surprised to hear one of these tracks crack the Top 40.
