There is a really abrupt feeling to the start of
"Trillionaire", like the song was started in progress.
That may be part of an overall band philosophy of
sink or swim. There is no genre listed, nor any comment on their music on
pertinent web pages. (I'll call it rock with a subtle funk influence, though
the name had me expecting more punk.) They admit the names of who plays which
instruments and that they are from Chicago, and that's it.
What stands out to me most is the sound of metal. I
don't mean metal as a genre, but it feels like there are steel strings instead
of nylon, and maybe some steel in the percussion. I can't quite put my finger
on it, but it gives the music a sharpness and a resonance. Listen to the bridge
on "Wicked Bible" for an example.
"Writing With A Knife" and "Banged
Up" also stood out among the tracks. Overall a pretty solid offering from
Rakunk.
