Stylish alt-country rock with stunning vocals and a generally cool sense of authenticity to its story, performance, and groove. Jo-Jo & The Teeth keep things slick and satisfying, with the distorted original charm and impassioned chorus of Whiskey Dreams.
Impressively distinct as a modern band, Jo-Jo & The Teeth blend genres quite seamlessly here, progressing from Americana to full-throttle rock, complete with a catchy resolve and a gritty guitar solo.
The bass line notes a hint of influence from alt-rock big-wigs like Muse, but all in all, Jo-Jo & The Teeth are quick to assert their own sense of identity and storytelling with this release. The voice is unique, unmistakable, even modest – another refreshing combination of qualities, which helps elevate this imaginative and emotionally reflective single.
The track continues to evolve unexpectedly, with a melodic and reflective middle-8 that sneaks and then storms into view. The final quarter is intense, energising and uplifting – the passion reaching a clear new peak, the band united in their shifting pace and presence. It’s a huge crescendo that wraps things up, and the track proves to have effectively moved from simply likeable, to unignorable, in less than four minutes.
An engaging, cool and catchy yet unpredictable alternative rock track, from a band with plenty of personality and realism to offer.
