At the heart of Talon of the Hawk, Front Bottoms’ new album, lies a blend of thumping rock drums and acoustic guitar – the band’s signature sound – plus electric guitars, synths, and even a bit of accordion. Brian Sella’s confident and emotive vocals will pull you in and keep you hooked, making you laugh, cry, and sing along all within minutes. Talon of the Hawk is harder-hitting and more intricate than their debut, with lyrical and musical complexity that will sink its claws into you. With a punk/folk/pop fusion, rock and roll is always just around the corner.
