Heads up….no clocks can be heard with either a tick or a tock on the recent E.P. release from Jared Rabin, Clocks Ticking. What can be experienced is four new tracks from the Chicago-based instrumentalist as well as one cover. The E.P begins the song cycle with the E.P. title track. “Clocks Ticking” spins a tale of introspection as Jared Rabin leaves earthly problems behind promising to soar in the song as he watches ‘all the days get washed away by the waves passing time’. Determined chord strums define the rhythms when the Top-Shelf multi-instrumentalist hurries along on a train-track drum beat, using his own words as encouragement to take a moment in “Remind Myself to Breathe”.
 
A caffeinated groove asks questions of an unnamed power as he stands tall in his beliefs, refusing to give up any ground, admitting ‘you can’t change somebody’s perspective who doesn’t want to see’ in “Time Marches”. A funky sway shimmies as Clocks Ticking confides ‘someone’s got to lose so someone else can win…ain’t that the way it’s always been’ as the story tries to find a balance in “Feel the Temperature”. Closing out the E.P., Jared Rabin borrows a tune from Townes Van Zandt letting soft chords and playful picking sparkle as he vows “I’ll Be Here in the Morning”. (by Danny McCloskey)
