I like The Narrator. I like their sound. If you have never heard of them before this review I suggest you go out get the record and then finish reading this review. This three-piece band hails from all parts of the U.S but call Chicago their home. From the start of the record with “Son of the Son of the Kiss of Death,” “SurfJew,” to the ending with “Chocolate Windchimes” All That to the Wall is filled with lyrics that will make you miss the past but keep you guessing about your future, as you grow older. They also have a Bob Dylan cover of “All the Tired Horses” which is the only real flaw on the record, but everything else is great. I’ll keep this review short and simple before I keep rambling on and make up some weird shit, but until you listen to the record, you will understand why. .

Track Listing:
1. Son of the Son of the Kiss
2. August 32nd
3. Speeding Up the Gang
4.SurfJew
5.Panic at Puppy Beach
6. All the Tired Horses
7. Start Parking
8. Papal Airways
9. Breaking the Turtle
10. A Decade in Kentucky
11. Chocolate Windchimes

We Shot The Moon Finish Recording

By Leave a Comment

We Shot The Moon have wrapped up recording their new EP titled The Polar Bear and Cougar. A full update from the band can be read below.

The recording process is officially complete. I sang my last song two nights ago. It feels great to be done with all the tracking. The CD is being mixed this week, and probably will continue into some of next week. With that said, let me introduce to you: “The Polar Bear and Cougar(EP). The EP is going to be five or six songs and is our first creation. It will be available at any of our shows and online via I-tunes and other online stores. We should have a track listing sometime next week and EP art. In the spring we will be releasing a full length album. We start full time touring on Sept. 15. Please come out to our shows and be a part of the “We Shot The Moon” experience.

Live life, be exicted!
