Pass Like Pollen

Description

Chuck Moores debut as Cartalk, Pass Like Pollen, is an album about holding on to what youve had and have charting an emotional path for moving forward, while understanding the importance of looking back. Merging the loud, grungy guitars of classic indie rock and emo with country esque songwriting and Moores undeniably affecting punch of a voice, Pass Like Pollen hits you hard immediately and leaves a beautiful mark.

Pass Like Pollen arrives on the heels of the buzz building sensation singles Noonday Devil and Wrestling, the latter of which was picked up by KEXP and resulted in a month-long residency earlier this year at the beloved and now defunct L.A. music venue The Satellite. Thematically, Pass Like Pollen is a breakup album a rumination on peering inward, taking stock in what you find and learning to embrace what you have in spite of so much loss. These complicated emotions are accompanied by a kaleidoscopic array of sounds rooted in rock and country music, every sonic shade complimenting the intricacies of Moores expressive lyricism; whether theyre cranking up the guitars on slow burning racers like Noonday Devil or zooming in to close micd effect on the intimate Something or Nothing, every single emotive beat on Pass Like Pollen rings true.
