Kingsfoil
Hailing from York, Pennsylvania, Kingsfoil’s latest self-titled release is a breath of fresh air musically. One can hear Kingsfoil’s influences, but they are mere sonic silhouettes in the backdrop of their shining originality.
While their sound is hard to categorize, I’d call it indie-alt-rock. With pervasive catchiness, much of their stuff is radio-friendly but on the creative end of the radio-music spectrum to be sure. Their song writing and melodies are the driving forces of their sound. Jordan Davis has a Jon Foreman-like quality to his vocals and his melodies are often rhythmic, unpredictable and creative in nature. He gets away with melodic concepts that few others could pull off well. While certainly driven by melodies, it’s easy to tell that their song-writing is synergistic as it’s interesting and exciting on multiple levels: melodically, rhythmically, instrumentally and structurally.
Lyrically, this record could be summed up by the themes of struggle and love. In some songs, redemption, hope and optimism win out. Other songs seem to fall on the side of angst, hopelessness and darkness even though they’re wrapped in a light-hearted sound. There’s certainly mature material present (a few sexual references and a couple mild to moderate cuss words), but there’s a lot of cleverly put profundity as well. Said profundity and honesty will provide many connection points for many fans.
In summary, this is the kind of music that moves you. It is catchy, but creative. It is raw, but profound. It’s progressive, but accessible. Every single song will leave you humming it’s melodies and reflecting on it’s themes.
