NW Album Reviews
Review: Micah McCaw — ‘Imbalances’
“Talk Louder” carries McCaw’s strongest chorus and acts as a necessary palette cleanser. Ender “ROYGBV”, a mouthful of color (minus indigo), also serves as a gyre of heady faith and spiritual leanings. Summoning McCaw’s quest for a win-win narrative, Imbalances is embedded with a leap of tension and friction as his wrestling testament toward exploration of self and the Source reaches a creative union.
