Chicago Maroon

Everyone knows the feeling of passively listening to an album and being floored when a certain melody hits that suddenly commands your attention. Be it a lyric that reverberates with your own feelings or a certain guitar riff fired off with such perfection that you feel the hair on your neck stand up, every artist strives for these moments of raw emotion. The greatest albums evoke these emotions in every song, but most artists consider themselves lucky to garner such a response from their audience even once. While Warm in the Wake’s debut EP The Gold Dust Trail isn’t an album that kept my jaw hugging the floor, it is nevertheless a consistent recording with well crafted songs and a few precious moments where I was floored.
