Each track has its own feel and rhythm. Really unique sound. Very nice blend of rhythm with some incredible guitar playing. It's easy to get lost into the CD as it flows together.
AllMusic writes:
By virtue of being an introspective singer/songwriter with an acoustic guitar, Chris Carrabba
has always been an artist skirting the edge of what is generally
referred to as "folk music." When he made his debut in 2001 under the
name Dashboard Confessional,
he essentially rebranded emo as something that could also be played
without a band or an amp. Over the years, he experimented with various
electric versions and expanded lineups, but always seemed most effective
in his stripped-down, impassioned, acoustic glory. Flash forward a
decade to a time when an unlikely "folk revival" is underway, making
stars out of earnest-voiced, boot-stomping, banjo-wielding young men,
and it's not that hard to imagine Carrabba's music repackaged for the Mumford crowd. Formed in early 2013, Twin Forks is the folky Americana soul-sister to Dashboard's plaintive emo strumming. While some might accuse the veteran Carrabba of hitching a ride on new folk's fading boxcar, Twin Forks' rootsy sound actually suits him pretty well. His high, dusty voice blends well with mandolinist/singer Suzie Zeldin
on songs like "Can't Be Broken" and "Kiss Me Darling," and the
all-acoustic band sounds much more cohesive than many of his later, more
rock-oriented Dashboard
lineups. On the other hand, many of the songs on their self-titled
debut overplay the cheery folk angle so hard that they just come off as
hokey handclap exercises, like on "Scraping Up the Pieces" and "Cross My
Mind." In theory, Twin Forks seems like a worthy vehicle for Carrabba's
songs, but too much of this album panders to worn-out themes and
clichés. When an honest piece of songwriting like "Done Is Done" finally
appears on the album's mellower second half, it makes you wish he'd use
this nice Dust Bowl group to sing of more ageless, human themes and
lose the theme-band schtick.
