A spectacular conclusion to the band's incredible debut album.
Plastic Mag
“A six-piece rock outfit with a unique sound that sees modern classic rock meet Southern swing, psychedelia, roots rock and jam band stylings, creating music that's expansive and melodic while retaining a strong emotional magnetism.”
“For a band whose members have spent decades cutting their teeth, the album carries the confidence of musicians who know exactly what they want to achieve.”
“The songs have room to breathe, moving from intimate and reflective passages into expansive rock anthems, with rich vocals, slick guitars, pedal steel, vintage keyboards and cinematic arrangements helping to give the record its considerable sense of scale.”
“ChameleouS continually changes shape, moving between rock styles without allowing any single influence to dictate where the music should go.”
“Recorded, mixed, mastered and produced by Seva at Sequoyah Studios in Knoxville, Tennessee, Wicked Din was shaped around capturing warmth, energy and genuine musicianship.”
““I Knew” sets up the record with the roll of pattering drums and pulsing bass guitar, forming a smokey groove as hazy guitar textures drift in.”
“An epic slice of psych-inflected classic rock cut with bright lead guitar flourishes.”
“A spectacular showcase of the band's songwriting flair and performance talent on this superb prog rock outing.”
“Tracks like “Lonely Lady” reveal the more tender side of the band's vision with a laid back soundscape of lilting rhythmic sway and drifting pedal steel elements as hushed vocals add to the intimate listening experience.”
““Life Fever” leans into a bluesy groove with the twang of lead guitar, shuffle of drums and hop of organ combining to create an engaging jam that swells with infectious vocal leads and playful instrumental flutters.”
“The mellow tones of lightly gritty guitar, rustle of drums and shimmering organ tones swirl below rich vocals to present a spectacular conclusion to the band's incredible debut album.”
