town meeting make things better

​Town Meeting (from the album Make Things Better available as a self-release)
You can hear it clearly in “Bleeding Hearts”, the cut Town Meeting use to open their recent release, Make Things Better, when the band sing a salvational harmony on heartbeat drum thumps and a tambourine beat. What is apparent from the sound of Make Things Better it that Town Meeting are a live band. As the hushed hyperactive strums create the mood for “Silence Speak” and the twang-plucked, distortion-damaged strings hand over “Forget-Me-Nots” shuffle styles, Town Meeting are the common thread on Make Things Better amid a musical mash-up of Rock’n’Roll and honky tonk Country.
 
Notes sparkle like the winter snow and the cell phone light underneath “Sometimes the Moon” while the questions are obvious as Town Meeting spit out “Answers” and stuff an apology into “Eulogy”, sending out a little dose of inspiration and raising glasses for the singalong chorus of “Fuck the Man”. Make Things Better thinks globally, acting locally as it ponders daily life in a small town reciting “The Fourth Verse” while Town Meeting make their way through their own lives in “A Goddamn Song”.
