Twist The Lens
(Electric Moth Records)
★★★★★

IF YOU like your rock’n’roll hale and hearty yet sophisticated, look no further than the new release by this awesome Kansas quartet. The six-year wait had been well worth it and the album does to the soul what a Missouri bourbon does to the palate.

The core trio of guitarist and singer Mike Allmayer, bassist Matt Kesler and drummer Rob Morrow, along with  co-opted guitarist Cody Wyoming, went to work under the watchful eye of former band member Paul Malinowski.

These are old masters at work, delivering intuitive, melodic harmonies with razor-sharp precision in tight instrumental combinations that vary with each song.
