Tommyguns new EP, Cranes and Camels, is one of the most unusual spans of 25 musical minutes Ive heard recently, primarily because it shifts abruptly on a song-by-song basis from one style of rock to another.
Sometimes thats a very good thing, like when a gritty, almost creepy analog-sounding keyboard (or is that a heavily effected guitar?) makes a startling solo intro to track two after the fairly no-frills drums-bass-guitar of track one had you thinking this would be a pretty straightforward alt-rock album.
