Exploring the concept of one�s seemingly inescapable roots, �Roots� is a powerful new track from Cedar Bend, a band based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A momentum-filled journey spans from lo-fi folk-friendly contemplation to dynamic rock anthemics, making for a ceaselessly engaging production.
�I can�t go home again, it will split me into two,� the opening vocals lament alongside steady acoustical strums. Reminders of one�s roots remain a stirring concept, from the initially contemplative folk sound to a rousingly eclectic rock appeal thereafter. Bursting guitars lend a classic-rock nostalgia thereafter, leading into a piano-touched �I lost control again,� facing of reality; the acceptance of personal transformation proves stirring, here and into a second half that wholly embraces the amped-up rock fervency, alongside brassy undercurrents. �Roots� is a compelling success from Cedar Bend.
