Tomorrow Robins Will Sing Why Walk When You Can Fly Baku Mani Amazon Blues Since I Fell Socks Dancing In An Alleyway Harriet Tubman Across the Great Divide Shy Guy Dance Home (Improv) Season Of Love |
A mixed four-piece from Santa Cruz, California (and past Harmony
Sweepstakes participants) Vocamotion have a relaxed contemporary sound that
translates well on record. Mary Chapin Carpenter's "Why Walk When You Can Fly"
complements the group's voices ideally, and the arrangement is terrific - the
group briefly turns it into a round for the finale. "Since I Fell" is a gem;
it features a vocal horn solo that nails the instrument's inflection and tonality,
which is second only to the dazzling lead vocal by Gail Clark. Several songs
are original, and use humor as a tool to convey a point of view; "Amazon Blues"
describes one man's appreciation for strong women, "Shy Guy" for the less-than-flashy
dude, while "Sock" needs no other description. However, "Dancing In An Alleyway"
is a nicely realized pop song, with a fresh melody and creative harmonization.
Congratulations to Vocamotion for this skillfully produced debut.
