Vinnie Caruana – “Aging Frontman” (Know Hope Records)
With the sullen lines ‘unlock your tired heart, we won’t
have this pain forever, just let your demons free, let the warmth wash over
you,’ The Movielife frontman Vinnie Caruana embarks on perhaps his most
emotional and introspective journey yet of his tenured solo career with his
latest EP Aging Frontman. ‘Do I make
you better?’ he stridently asks on opener “Better,” just the first of a handful
of reflective tracks to come. From there, “Dying in the Living Room” delivers
immersive textures awash in hazy screams, the brooding “I Love You, Please
Watch Over Us” offers a brief respite from the rest of Aging Frontman via fuzzed out guitar strums, “Providence” is a
slice of folksy, front porch Americana, and “Tex ‘The Rock’ Johnson” closes out
Aging Frontman with some serious
country western vibes. Aging Frontman
finds Caruana pouring his heart onto wax for all the world to hear, which was
clearly the most difficult part of the process, and all we have to do is
listen, which is the easy part.
