In 2007, the San Francisco Bay Area rock band In Reverent Fear released an album called Stomacher. Two years later, having

its debut album, Sentimental Education. The quintet, now consisting of singer/lyricist/guitarist/keyboard player Jarrod Taylor,
guitarist Stephen Reinhardt, guitarist Greg Francis, bassist Jeffrey Tollefson, and drummer John Lazarus, plays moody,
atmospheric rock, over which Taylor sings in a near falsetto. His largely unrhymed words poetically treat matters of dread and
doom, with only glimmers of hope peeking through. "I'm as desperate as I seem," Taylor declares over and over in "Parade," and
by this, the penultimate track on the album, it's easy to believe him. Of course, this sort of ominous rock has brought success to
several bands over the decades, even if most of them have been British. It's Joy Division-by-way-of-Radiohead, and Stomacher
approximate the style effectively. « hide |
