(2020) Remo Drive - A Portrait of an Ugly Man
Review:
Midwest indie rockers Remo Drive are already back with a brand new album. It’s called A Portrait of an Ugly Man and it’s due out June 26th via Epitaph. It’s a good time to be a Remo Drive fan because the duo is dropping new music left and right these days. Last year, brothers Erik and Stephen Paulson released Natural, Everyday Degradation as well as a tagalong EP. Now, they have 10 brand new songs all strung together for their third studio full-length to date. Not too shabby.Perhaps best of all, according to a press release, A Portrait of an Ugly Man recalls the charming instrumentation of their breakout debut, 2017’s Greatest Hits. “I wanted to get back to playing guitar the way I used to, and then throw songwriting on top of that,” said Erik Paulson. “On the last album, I approached playing guitar in a more songwriter-y way. I had really scaled it back so it wouldn’t be as hard for me to sing and play simultaneously, but the guitar is way more forward again now.” A slice of tremolo-heavy classic rock filtered through the lens of the gunslinging American West, Remo Drive’s third album, A Portrait of an Ugly Man finds them truly in their element – both physically and sonically. Whereas the Paulsons filtered their buoyant songwriting through the concise lens of storytellers like Bruce Springsteen and The Killers on Natural, Everyday Degradation, A Portrait of an Ugly Man is more spontaneous, bolstered by the same charm and levity that made 2017’s Greatest Hits such an underground favorite.
