The Way Out “Rolling Off The Edge”

Had never heard of of these guys, out of Ashland, Nebraska, until a couple of days ago, yet here they are with my current # 1 most played (roughly a gazillion times) track this week. It’s simultaneously dark and infectious, and has a bit of an alternative 90’s vibe, which asserts itself most prominently in Mari Crisler’s vocal: deep, and flat and perfect, and somewhere in between Liz Phair and, on the more recent tip, Ophelia Booth of Bloxx : it’s every bit as powerful as the bed of fat, melodic guitar that gloriously surrounds it.
