It's amazing how sometimes the most obscure and unheralded acts in modern rock are often some of the best. I don't even know if Chacon is a band or if it's just one guy, but I all I can say is that this album is good from top to bottom and that's an understatement. I guess I like this album so much because Chacon's sound reminds me of 90's-alternative singer/songwriters like Matthew Sweet, Ben Arnold, Adrien Belew, Grant Lee Buffalo, as well as countless others that you might expect to find on the now-classic "Empire Records" soundtrack. The first two songs, "I Would" and "Murder" are good examples of this edgy pop sound of distorted guitars with melodic hooks galore - think Teenage Fanclub. "Walking Through the Day," is like a up-beat Weezer song with its fuzz-guitar riff, as is "Blame," is like a classic grungy Dinosaur Jr. song. "Pedestrian," is a real surprise with its cool, quiet melody accompanied with an awesome organ riff, and "Drinking with a Girl" is another smooth melodic song with a perfect piano and bass mix and a "Stairway to Heaven"-like opening. "Harmony" is an emotional acoustic track, and the last song, "Matches and Gasoline," is like a half rock-half country ballad that goes into psychedelic rock near the end. "Nothing's Been the Same," "I Want To," and the slow-dance worthy "Maybe," are all other examples of Chacon's melodic singer/songwriter sound that takes one back to the 90's. Whether it's a whole band or just one guy, it seems that Chacon are (or is) bringing back that 90's-alternative rock sound I grew up with. It's about time there was a revival.
