King Washington, “Potential”
Label:
Reviewed by: Kim Walter

LA band that’s working hard to create the “New California Sound”, fusing classic vocal harmonies and lyrical melodies with contemporary lyrics. Interesting. Diverse. Creative. Entertaining. An album in the true sense, where the songs are distinct, yet flow together. Best for me: 2, 5, 6, 11, 14.


1. med – indie rock
2. slow/med – echoing alternative sound
3. short instrumental interlude (Like 10 seconds)
4. med - indie rock, familiar voice, different tempos, vocal ties to R&R of past
5. med – interesting, funky beat
6. med – 70’s vibe, David Bowie influence
7. med - hard to describe, indie rock, reminds me a little of Radiohead,cool guitar sounds
8. slow – breathy rock ballad
9. slow/med – gentle rock
10. med – generic rock tune
11. slow/med – interesting story telling style
12. short musical interlude (10 or so seconds again)
13.slow/med – indie/folk rock,depressing lyrics
14. slow/med – reminiscent of early Beatles, almost Mtn spiritual, only “country” song on album
