Release Notes:
Red Guitar storms back with their second release,
Beauty Will Save the World, and offer a robust
flowering of sonic delight that no doubt reflects
their personnel expansion. The seven-piece Kansas
City outfit added several new members since 2003Æs
Based on a Blue Story, and the musical evolution is
evident. The alt-country feel that earned early
comparisons to the Counting Crows and Neil Young has
developed into a sound that defies easy
categorization. Sun-drenched overlays of guitars and
harmonies, drips of melting synth, and rhythmic
variations pepper the attack of singer-songwriters
John McKenna and Nick Nave. The result features
tracks which first heard apart might seem dissonant,
but the bandÆs superior craftsmanship backed by a
concise 10-song format creates a mysterious
coherence that is rare among popular music today.
From the marching cadence of opener ôV-Day,ö to the
psychedelic soul of ôThe Sting,ö Red Guitar has
claimed their own musical territory that owes as
much to U2 as to Springsteen.
Red Guitar splashes down with their best effort yet!
Red Guitar has most definitely pushed their
song-crafting and production to the next echelon of
Rock Band with ôBeauty Will Save the Worldö. Refresh
yourself with a listen.
