EP Review: Silver City Bound 'Take My Picture'

Already having won Best Americana album in 2015 from the Independent Music Awards for their previous album, Diner in the Sky, NYC’s Silver City Bound return March 4th with a brand new EP, Take My Picture.

Take My Picture showcases the quartet’s - Sam Reider (accordion and vocals), Justin Poindexter (guitar and vocals), Noah Garabedian (bass), and Will Clark (drums) -  diverse influences as they smoothly blend folk, country, zydeco, blues and more on a five-song collection that includes four originals and a righteous rendition of "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man.”  

Opening with an influx of horns, "Take My Picture" is a rootsy rocker featuring lush melodies, smooth vocals and a foot stomping, hand clap filled bridge that you'll find irresistible. “Take It Slow” is a bit of a bluesy jam, “Peacocking”, about strutting your stuff and getting your groove on with the aim to impress, will light a fire under your feet while the dynamic “I Wanna Get Drunk”, an anthem focusing on rediscovering life’s simple pleasures, rounds out the project.

Take My Picture is a downright fun listen, putting a contemporary spin on roots music with songs (highlighted by the oft-forgotten accordion) that have heart and heft.

Take My Picture can be pre-ordered via Silver City Bound’s website. The group will be celebrating the release of their EP at Barbes in Brooklyn the same day as the release.
