Languages {Or: Get Dark & Find Yourself.} (Absorb)

FOR FANS OF: The Elms, The White Stripes, The Black Keys

4 Stars

 

Outside of The Elms former front man, Owen Thomas, may be flying under the radar these days, but there are still several reasons to track down his solo debut. In addition to heartfelt, soul-bearing songwriting, his knack for crafting killer hooks remains, and while the rollicking sounds are a bit sparser than his band’s major label days, long time fans will have no trouble connecting the dots.
