Our Take

The Minus 5's latest offering, Oar On, Penelope!, is a delightful mix of infectious melodies, witty lyrics, and irresistible charm. Led by the ever-creative mind of Scott McCaughey, this album is a playful ride through a sonic wonderland. From the opening track, "War on War on War," the listener is immediately drawn in by the catchy hooks and clever wordplay. The Minus 5 effortlessly blend elements of power pop, indie rock, and alt-country to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Tracks like "Penelope Strangers" and "The Queen of Mars" showcase McCaughey's knack for storytelling, painting vivid pictures with his lyrics. The infectious energy of songs like "Hold Down the Fort" and "Bleach Boys & Beach Girls" will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time. The musicianship on display throughout Oar On, Penelope! is top-notch, with each member of the band bringing their own flair to the mix. Whether it's Peter Buck's jangly guitar riffs, Kurt Bloch's gritty solos, or the tight rhythm section of John Ramberg and Joe Adragna, every moment on this album is a joy to listen to. Overall, Oar On, Penelope! is a testament to The Minus 5's enduring creativity and talent. With its catchy hooks, clever lyrics, and irresistible charm, this album is sure to delight fans old and new alike. Get ready to embark on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
