This is an entry in an ongoing series for 303 Magazine, which will provide a range of local album reviews. It is our intention to highlight the talents of local musicians, whether veterans to the industry or newcomers. Like the bands, the album can be fresh or something we just haven’t had the power to take off repeat in the past few months. Check out previous entries in the series here. Quarantine jams should not be slow and gloomy, they should be lively and upbeat, like Cities in the Sky’s debut EP, Wasted Words. The Denver band boasts Sequoia Greene on vocals, Alex Pockrus on lead guitar and vocals, Miles Stephens on bass, James Medina on drums and David James on guitar and vocals. The new five-track EP Wasted Words is a bold introduction to the world, and the release does wonders showcasing each of the member’s talents. With lengthy guitar riffs and belting vocals, it is hard to pinpoint a singular strongpoint, but perhaps a release as such shows us that the spotlight can shine all over a room. “The creation of Wasted Words was everyone’s first time recording a multiple track project in a studio,” cites vocalist Sequoia Greene. “It was a bit challenging at first with conflicting concepts and direction. We were used to playing off of each other’s energy when practicing or playing live, so it was a new experience to take single track takes and layer the parts.”
