The Rhythm of Black Lines - Self Titled - Six Gun Lover

Review by: Jennifer Perkins

The Rhythm of Black Lines are quickly becoming a household name in the lonestar state. Now equipped with a self titled 4 song EP just out on Sixgunlover, the name could be known nationwide. Containing members of indie rock darlings The Hades Kick, as well as as Paul Newman isn't hurting either. This band was destined to do great things from the word 'go'.

Those familar with Paul Newman remember this seemingly shy man's masterful guitar playing. Very complex. This combined with Clint Newsome's epitome of indie vocals make for a perfect equation. Speaking of math, the temptation does arrive to throw that adjective out at the band. However, musical complexity is often mistaken for an attempt at 'math rock' and I am not sure that this is the effect The Rhythm of Black Lines are going for. There is too much fluidity in these songs to pigeonhole them wiith that term.

Listening to these engrossing and detailed songs, you feel like you are being let in on a big secret or handed down some prized family recipe. These songs sound like something these gentlemen worked quite diligently to create. you almost want to thank them for letting you listen in.
