Free-flowing and, at times, funky, emotive rock radiates from Pretty Words recently released self-titled EP. Available on cassette via Melted Tapes, the EP embodies an earnest, gritty sonic texture, stewing in consciousness while retaining an ability to cut loose. Dueling stuck-in-your-own-head lyricism but looking-to-break-out instrumentation pull from both directions, and the listener wins. You can catch Pretty Words this Friday, April 14 at The Fat House with Good Looking Friends, Stay Inside, Midnight in Rome, and Michael Poggioli.
