CMON CMON’s album “The Crack And The Light” is a collection of 11 tracks that delve into the cracks within ourselves, our relationships, our lives, and the world itself and how the light gets in because of these cracks. With the comfortable and soft blend of melodic rock, indie harmonies, and thought-provoking narratives, CMON CMON crafts an album that showcases their musical versatility and lyrical depth. Each track offers a glimpse into the band’s influences and the band’s ability to create intricate arrangements that resonate with the listener.
From the rhythmic “Say what it Means,” fired by waves of guitar harmonies and hazy vocals, we move on to the failures of “My Heroes,” with the pattering drums speeding and the ubiquitous guitars. In “The Summers We Missed,” the band captures the bittersweet sensation of missed opportunities. The fantasy goes on forever of what could have been.
“The Crack And The Light” is filled with introspection that comes from a life well-experienced, and each step contemplated exploring the complexities of life and relationships. Each track tells a unique story, delving into themes of missed opportunities, personal growth, and the passage of time.
From the multi-layered arrangement of “Black Holes,” which mirrors the cascading consequences of our decisions to the introspective and melancholic “I Don’t Know,” CMON CMON’s lyrics invite constant reflection and the loneliness within each missing wall. With “New Orleans” as the finale of the album, the band leaves a subtle cliffhanger with the loneliness and a fitting stormy mood capturing the desperation and desolation perfectly.
Listen to “The Crack And The Light” by CMON CMON to experience melodic rock with deeply personal stories and memorable melodies.
