Gideon King & City Blog’s newest album Upscale Madhouse has a wide variety of emotions through the songs that take listeners through different musical tones and scenarios. Their overall sounds will remind those who listen the mixture of artists Rufus Wainwright, Turin Brakes, Athlete, and The 1975. The band overall sets the musical standards high with a varied mix of arrangements from track to track. The beginning of the album starts off slow and constant and has a different tone to it than other parts. Jazz influences and the sounds of keyboard keys add a unique variance that seems lost in some music today. For Our Own Sake has a serene and easy listening vibe to it with strong vocals from Grace Weber that complement effortlessly. For those who are eager to listen, you’ll have to wait until March 2018. Their sound doesn’t disappoint and further continues the trend of the musical greatness that premiered in their album in 2015, entitled City Blog.
