ALBUM REVIEW: Commonweather ‘Commonweather EP’

December 2, 2014 Liv Simister alternative rock, balance and composure, chicago, Commonweather, ep, infectious magazine, linkin park0 comment

“The Albatross” starts Commonweather’s self-titled EP like the introduction to a concert. It opens it up beautifully, and the curtain being drawn up to reveal the band on stage almost seems like it could be tangible if I reached my hand towards it. There is a powerful emotion that seems deep-seeded into every line of the song, and it is conveyed through a style that will take listeners back to when alternative rock had grit to it. Everything about this track will implant listeners into the moodiest, homiest venue they can think…
