With cartoonish and interesting cover art portraying a Bull kind of makes you look at the album name again. Thatโs right, itโs โBull in a China Shopโ by Atomic Bronco. An indie alternative rock album reminiscent of retro times and somewhat coalescing lo-fi beats with garage rock sounds If that doesnโt sound like a strong concoction, I donโt know what does. And itโs quite a concoction too, with all 11 tracks moving to a whole different sound, each distinct yet being strung back to the same album with Broncoโs suave and sleek vocals and genre bringing us back to ground.
No matter how high you are, you have to come back to the ground with the realizationโโ Bull in a China Shopโ has just that kind of balancing effect.
Starting with โDefault Settings,โ an album with drums pacing beside jamming guitars and that ubiquitous signature hazy voice of Atomic Bronco We are taken to a more seductive musical field with the second track, โGet You Off My Mind,โ as Bronco sings with his voice low but clearer the opening lines, โYou got the look to trap me, babe/And I know itโs true.โ Props to Kyle Nuss for producing the album and lending his amazing songwriting abilities, making them a perfect fit for Broncoโs voice.
โBull in a China Shopโ is out to break some things with the 4th track, โFoolish Games.โ It has the rhythm dancing as the vocals groove and enchant us. Again, in โLost,โ we get more of that acoustic guitar and more of Broncoโs heartfelt rendition of the lyricism.
Overall, โBull in a China Shopโ should be right up your alley because Atomic Bronco has bent the genres with a modern, transitional take with this DIY indie album.
