Trace Mountains - "HOUSE OF CONFUSION" | Album Review

Trace Mountains - "HOUSE OF CONFUSION" | Album Review

The songs on HOUSE OF CONFUSION benefit from Benton’s workmanlike approach. Each tune sounds so effortlessly poignant that one assumes the album was written in a single afternoon, sitting on a riverbank in golden sunshine, guitar in hand. But any good craftsperson knows, it takes a ton of effort to appear effortless.

Trace Mountains - "Lost In The Country" | Album Review

Trace Mountains - "Lost In The Country" | Album Review

Larger than the sum of its parts, Trace Mountains’ Lost in the Country is honest and lasting. Each little hook, vocal flair, snare hit. The songs keep an enduring pace, excited to get moving, even if it’s just to the woods out the front door. The drum kit hikes the path so the lyrics can admire the world and the melody can whistle along the way.
