Our Take

The first thing that strikes you about The Dandy Warhols' latest release, "Rockmaker," is the sea glass blue vinyl that it comes packaged in. It's a bold choice for a band known for their psychedelic rock sound, but one that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Musically, "Rockmaker" is a mixed bag. The opening track, "Highlife," is a catchy, upbeat number that showcases frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor's signature crooning vocals. However, the album quickly veers into more experimental territory with tracks like "Chameleon" and "Holding Me Up." These songs may not be as immediately accessible, but they show a willingness on the band's part to push the boundaries of their sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Soul on Fire," a brooding ballad that highlights the band's knack for crafting emotionally resonant melodies. The song's haunting lyrics and moody guitar riffs make it a definite highlight of the album.

Overall, "Rockmaker" is a solid addition to The Dandy Warhols' discography. While some tracks may be more challenging than others, the album as a whole showcases the band's continued growth and willingness to experiment. And hey, if nothing else, you'll have a great-looking piece of sea glass blue vinyl to add to your collection.
