Vargen’s Self Titled Album is Out Now
Having previously explored Vargen’s musical landscape, the latest album, with its centerpiece “A Midnight Dreary” inspired by Poe, further solidifies the artist’s standing as a multifaceted and skillful musician.
The album opens with “Mindy Morning,” a track that exudes a captivating blend of acoustic charm and rock energy.
The song, reminiscent of Dire Straits, has an infectious quality that evokes a desire to hit the road and wander aimlessly, basking in the sonic journey laid out by Vargen.
As the album unfolds, Vargen showcases his ability to traverse various musical universes. “Like a Bird Of Pray” and “Tar & Feathers” introduce a distinctly American vibe with intense ballads, conjuring up images of expansive landscapes and poignant stories.
Also, echoes of Nick Cave are discernible, adding depth and emotion to the overall experience.
“Toxicon” introduces a delightful shift in vibes, infusing a more ironic tone with its 70s-inspired sounds. The track showcases Vargen’s playful side, demonstrating that he can effortlessly weave different genres into his musical tapestry.
“Them Cats” takes a jazzy turn, with the guitar playfully meowing notes that add a touch of whimsy to the album.
A standout on the album is undoubtedly “The Bitch In Me.” The bluesy vibes, coupled with the irreverent title, create a captivating atmosphere. In some moments this tune reminded me of Make It Wit Chu by Queens of the Stone Age.
The guitar solo is fantastic, adding a layer of intensity to the composition. Vargen’s vocal performance, almost theatrical in nature, elevates the song to a level of artistry that is memorable.
With this album, Vargen proves once again that he is a fantastic artist, leaving listeners eagerly anticipating the next chapter in his musical journey.
