The first track "Decision" is a remarkable, easy-going track that features neatly tuned guitar rhythms and soft, whispering vocals brought to you by frontman Terrence Mulhern who contributes a great deal to the trio's musical outset that has a bare bones essence to it that is crisp, refreshing, and makes you want to continue listening right until the very end. "Spiral" wraps up our short trip here, and features an intricate, folk leaning style that has indelible acoustic guitar melodies weaving in and out through the instrumentation here, and wonderful bass and percussion brought to you respectively by John Stricker and Denny Kennedy who round out the short EP with something that is incredibly relaxing and makes you appreciate the honest musicianship and impeccable talent that these three guys have, and shows off what the band are capable of bringing to their audience both on record and on stage. I've covered these guys previously here on the blog back in January as my Artist Spotlight feature, and I really commended the guys for keeping things simple and straightforward, while not doing too much musically that would have otherwise made the music distracting and unable to pay attention to all the action that is going on. I thoroughly enjoyed the band's playing style immensely, and I have great hope for the trio moving forward.
All in all, a terrific EP from This Much, a local band who is starting to make their presence known to music listeners in the area, and have a defined playing style that you just don't see enough of these days from other local bands.
