There is a wonderful narrative that runs through “Riding The Wave,” the new single from Tornado Sky, a lyrical web so deftly spun that it marks them out as true storytellers of the classic country tradition. This is a timeless tale of forging a life for yourself, living on the edge, making ends meet, and not caring what others think of your choices. It is a rallying cry for individuality…after all, we only get one shot at this; life doesn’t come with a dress rehearsal!
To create a sonic platform to carry this tale of life, love, and liberation, Tornado Sky forges a gorgeous mesh of acoustic guitar chops and lilting pedal steel drifts, intertwined harmonies, and haunting sonic washes that ebb and flow like the desert winds, all pushed on by simple, unfussy but effective beats.
Perhaps not country in the classic sense, “Riding the Wave” sits between cowboy campfire conciseness and an ambient folk finesse, gentle alt-country acoustica, and poised pop balladry. But it doesn’t matter what label you put on it, all that matters is the song’s appeal…and there is no shortage of that to be found here.
