Steady Pace in the Slow Lane Buy from CD Baby Buy at AthensMusic.net Buy from Amazon Also available in Athens, GA from Wuxtry and School Kids Records From babysue: Sparse, thoughtful, soft pop. No, they aren't from New Jersey...The Jersey Barrier is a band based in Athens, Georgia and this is their first full-length release. The band consists of Greg Harmelink, Cara McLanahan, Rob Walsh, Ash White, and Todd Elihu. The Jersey Barrier is easily one of the most accessible sounding bands we have heard from Athens. Steady Pace in the Slow Lane features nice, smooth, melodic tunes that--with a bit of tweaking and some additional instrumentation--would not sound at all out of place in the world of commercial music. But our guess is that commercial success is not the main emphasis for these folks. The songs are just too genuine and real...and at this point too sparse...to be digested by casual music fans. As such, Slow Lane will probably appeal to the specific audience for which it is intended...cool, genuine, real people seeking cool, genuine, real music. Soothing and serene. |
