Chicago outfit Sharpless have returned with their new album The One I Wanted To Be. The band, lead by Jack Greenleaf, also includes Montana Levy, Ian Cory, Dan Ott, and Jack Ferencz. The album which includes older track “Greater Than”, the song which I discovered the band back in 2012, shows how long the band has been at work on the record.
Sharpless greatest strength is their ability to pull out these great pop ideas out of experimental songs structures. Check out lead single “You’ve Got A Lot Of Feelings” to see how many varying ideas the band can fit into one song, yet they are able to harness the energy and create something memorable and unique each time.
It’s just one of the many fine delights that the album will throw at you. The album was just released and is posted over at bandcamp. It’s also embedded for your enjoyment below, but make sure you go support the guys and give it a purchase.
