​Church of Roswell (from the album Church of Roswell available on Studio 42 Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
Getting blackout drunk as a fun evening may be a myth. You have nine or 10 too many and a large void of darkness exists where your memories should be. Folkie duo Church of Roswell turn that unfortunate instance of self-destruction into a fantastic songwriting metaphor, taking the classic tale of man turning to wolf every full moon, and comparing it to a monthly drunk in a blackout town. “Werewolf” opens Here Comes Church of Roswell with that comparison in a clever Folk song where lines like ‘I drink to forget what I do when I drink’ create a clever excuse for ‘seven lost hours’. Bouncy Folk tunes loaded with soft harmonies follow within a breezy record. “Rocketeer” is a tune of positive affirmation where Josh Doyle repeats ‘nothings gonna bring me down today’ while a quick blast of spaghetti western guitar intros the murder ballad in disguise “Love is A Killer”.
Gritty, Garage Rock twang kicks off “The Witcher” giving way to an Indie Rock rhythm that lays a solid foundation underneath Doyle’s and Carpenters ultra-aggressive, punk harmonies as Church of Roswell slow for the album closer. “Canary”, thanks to Carpenter’s vocals, is stripped-down, soft, and tender. The brevity of the record lends itself to the overall delivery punch. Nothing is wasted, filler is nonexistent, and Church of Roswell provide strong harmonies and mixed melodies in a catchy, Pop-package. (by Bryant Liggett)
