Starship Beer - Nut Music As Free As The Squirrels
Review by Chandini Hemdev
Nut Music As Free As The Squirrels is the latest album from the indie rock band Starship Beer. The album is a unique blend of rock, blues, and folk music that takes the listener on a journey through the whimsical world of squirrels.
The album opens with the upbeat and catchy track "Squirrel Nutkin," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The lyrics are playful and witty, and the melody is infectious. The band's use of acoustic instruments such as the guitar, banjo, and harmonica gives the album a rustic and authentic feel.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Acorn Blues," which features a soulful blues guitar riff and powerful vocals. The lyrics are poignant and relatable, touching on themes of loss and longing.
Another notable track is "Nutty Love," a playful and upbeat love song that showcases the band's ability to write catchy hooks and memorable melodies. The harmonies on this track are particularly impressive, adding depth and texture to the song.
