Jason Dove
"Pronto" CDEP
Carbon & Monoxide
Genre: pop/rock
April 2006 |
Jason Dove, an alumnus of a number of local Atlanta rock acts,
is the man behind Pronto. This record is a thirteen song romp
through a number of variations upon rock music, from jam band styles
to flat out indie pop. It houses a number of decent rock songs, as
well as some particularly notable instrumentals. Often Dove
seems to work best without vocals, as strongpoints like "Jameson on
the Rocks" and the eclectic title track can attest to. Catchy tunes
like "Hey" and "Saddest Song In The World, Ever" round out the better
pop tracks, whereas some of the other songs suffer from blandness and
mediocrity. Stronger vocals and more of a stylistic consistency would
make this album a more satisfying and followable record. Pronto is by
no means a waste of a CD, but its value is threatened by the number of
better solo records out there.
