I'd have to describe this as atmospheric pop-rock. Some songs start delicately and become quite lush as different musical elements are added, such as the first (and best) song, "Brownblue's Passing". Another good one is "Chicago" which offers nice harmonies and seems somewhat melancholy. "Happy Yellow Rainbow" is almost prog/rock and has some nice piano breaks in it before it becomes somewhat heavy (in a good way). To put it in a nutshell, I rather liked this offering from these Oklahoma City boys. Reviewed by Rebecca Ruth.BLACKIE AND THE RODEO KINGS
