Album Review: Charlie Horse - Strange Passengers

The latest release for Charlie Horse has the group sculpting songs that continue to place Crystal Rose's velvety vocals up front and centre, while retaining a full band sound. Strange Passengers ebbs and flows effortlessly, from the gutsy pub-rock leanings of I Will Always Let You Down to the more ethereal vibrato of tracks like Morphine And Nicotine. Of particular note is the guitar work of Paul McDonald and Peter Caro, who have tastefully crafted parts that balance well with Rose's voice. Strange Passengers sees Charlie Horse honing their songwriting chops and blossoming into a fine act.
