The last song, "Come On Down," rounds out the album with a '70's rock feel, telling a tale of lost love out on the road. The song finishes the musical progression from previous tracks like "The Crack of His Door" and "Red State Soil," that tell narratives about modern America. "Come On Down" is a beautiful mix of acoustic guitar, harmonica, and harmonized vocals.
On The Carrot Chase, Sh! The Octopus shows that Detroit still has some great music coming from its weary streets. At the same time, Sh! The Octopus has appeal beyond Detroit, and they mix elements that are popular in modern indie rock. I have a feeling we might see more of this band as the decade progresses.
You can purchase The Carrot Chase directly from the band's Web site.
