This is kind of fuzzy guitar rock album that doesn’t really ever cross over to hard rock or alternative rock, but gets kind of close to hard rock. Almost. It is one of those one person band projects, with Elder doing everything. But Elder really can’t sing. Which is a thing in rock much – there are many “can’t sing, don’t care” type of vocalists out there. They usually stay in punk and metal, though. I’m guessing the soul is a reference to the Christian lyrics, as there really isn’t any actual soul music influences anywhere that I can find. And actually, the lyrics to the first track do confirm that.
