The Accidentals (from the album Vessel available as a self-release) (by Bryant Liggett)
The Accidentals are the best of many things. On their latest, Vessel, the trio drop a little 1980’s New Wave, appealing to any seeking a nostalgia trip or a score from a John Hughes film, while including a modern Indie Dance vibe. Toss in a slight hint of Americana, tossed in like a flavor-all ingredient, and you’ve got the makings for a hip record, broad enough to satisfy many a pallet. Vessel is a record made like a painting with broad brush strokes. The album goes at a great pace. “Go Getter” is a mover that pulses and throbs, “Rollercoaster” is an Indie Rocker that kicks, the instrumentation getting avant-Punk aggressive as the vocals pick up steam, and “Count the Rings” is ripe for Modern Rock radio. The lyric prize of the record comes via “The Line”, a phrase that cuts on historical awfulness as they sing ‘be it oil or gold or water, we have always treasured greed’. “Cityview” is sweet, soft, and timeless, sounding like something pulled from AM Radio of 1974. Album closer, “Birds Eye View”, is both a bit of NewGrass and Classical acoustic guitar. While The Accidentals rule at great arrangements, The Vessel is equally heavy on the vocals. The Accidentals go from whisper to hush to harmonies that push while never pushy, voices floating softly over the delicate instrumentation, The Vessel is a record of superb delivery.
