Stones in Pockets – “Intercom” Album Review

Stones in Pockets recently released their debut album “Intercom” to the masses which draws inspiration from several places. The band would describe their sound as alternative world music with a core rooted in grunge. This description was spot on and apparent as soon as the first song started to play. The lead singer (Neil) has a captivating voice that draws you in from the beginning. However, the band’s instrumentation was the highlight of the song. “DryBox” definitely sets the tone for the album.

“Go Angry” speaks on a man trying to mend a relationship before his lover exits. The lyrics on this song are for sure tearjerkers and relatable. The harmonies on this one are superb! “Canvas” isn’t Neil’s strongest vocal performance but it’s nice to see the band incorporate a more complex vocal arrangement in the album. It’s a well-written track! The chorus & the bridge honestly saved the song.

“Dreams of Kali” sticks to the band’s vision of creating world music as the track is sung in a foreign language. Outside of that, there’s nothing really special about this one. On “Heart-Shaped Box,” Neil received help vocally from Ruah! The duet paid off as this is easily the best song on the album! I can see this one being a crowd favorite at the shows!

While listening to “The Gate,” I noticed that the lyrical theme followed the same concept as “Dreams of Kali” which spoke about a foreign love. Outside of the obvious, this track was also hard to get through. “Supernatural” has very catchy lyrics! The band should be able to play this record anywhere as it truly blends well across genres. “Wicked on the Prowl” was the last song on the album but it didn’t fill the void for what the album was missing! The album needed at least one upbeat track!

Overall, Intercom is a solid debut from the band. The verses are relatable, and the instrumentation is good! Of course, there’s plenty of room for growth but a solid foundation has been set.

Michelle Rose Exclusive Interview

Q: What's it like growing up in Mpls? Does the city have interesting stories about Prince? A: I only lived in Minneapolis until I was three, but I have fond memories of it. Even now that I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, I still feel like I'm a part of Minneapolis. I think a lot of Minnesotans have "Minneapolis Pride", even if they don't live in Minneapolis. Minneapolis has so many fun things to see and do, and the arts are very important here, with so many theaters and live shows. Prince put us on the map for music. I hear Prince stories everywhere I go in Minnesota. I've met so many people who were associated with Prince, including one of his dancers, and even a former Paisley Park employee working as a cashier at the local grocery store, so I've heard many Prince stories. I wish I could've been a Chanhassen resident when Prince was still alive, because I know that many Chanhassen residents saw him casually riding his bike around

Den Edie Flyah interveiw So could you tell us a little bit about your upbringing in Ohio? I was sent to guitar leasons by my parents when I was 10 years old. My uncle lived with us back in Ohio then and he played the drums. I grew up with a Rock band practicing in my basement. I did not know it at the time but this little town I lived in knew how to rock. When did music become your main interest and what lead you to take music so seriously? When I was 13 I saw my first rock concert. It was The kinks (one for the road tour.) It changed me instantly. Suddenly that was the only thing I wanted to do. To this day I'm still doing it. My guitar obsession had just started and I did take some music theory lessons as well. I began learning how to create music or write a song. I recently worked with two clasical Violinist. A Saxsaphone player and a Pianist. The Music theory lessons did pay off as I was able to talk to them in a launguage they understood. Being a Singer
