Wheels – Wheels (Black Album)
The
self titled – “Wheels (Black Album)” comes from Yellow Springs, Ohio with folk
and alternative rock tunes, along with quintet harmonized vocals. The album
kicks off with two foot-stomping tracks, “The Dove”, and “Gold/Black” which
loops a catchy rock beat while building up to quick rock and piano solos.
The album slows with “Panic Attacks
on a Friday Night” and “Sakura” which then picks up creating an alternative rock
faster-paced beat with nice melodies that are easy to sing along with.
After the “Intermission” song, a
quick circus-like instrumental, the band breaks out the banjo and mandolin for
the pure folk “Morse Code”. The
album then slows again with “Windmill” as an acoustic guitar is played with
several other quiet instruments with the nostalgic background vocals and a
pickup at the end to rap up the song.
Finally, the tunes “So Fast” and “September”
finish the album with folk/alternative rock melodies, providing catchy vocals
in “So Fast” which interestingly doesn’t really have a chorus.
