iTunes Review:

Energetic and loose, this New England-based quintet blends various influences to create a style all their own. Led by Will EvansΓΓé¼Γäó rich, soulful vocals the bandΓΓé¼Γäós arrangements incorporate catchy hooks and dynamic tempo shifts while giving the music room to breathe. ΓΓé¼┼ôRoll If You FallΓΓé¼┬¥ and ΓΓé¼┼ôThe OceanΓΓé¼┬¥ get the crowd on its feet with infectious sing-along choruses and headlong momentum, and mid-tempo gems ΓΓé¼┼ôMisledΓΓé¼┬¥ and ΓΓé¼┼ôDrink to YouΓΓé¼┬¥ carry an emotional weight that adds to their impact. The band reveals its range with ΓΓé¼┼ôReachΓΓé¼┬¥ and ΓΓé¼┼ôChanges in the Weather,ΓΓé¼┬¥ a pair of moving ballads featuring swelling strings that intertwine with the melodies. Sax and trumpet add grit and texture to the piano showcase ΓΓé¼┼ôHesitationΓΓé¼┬¥ and the reggae-inflected ΓΓé¼┼ôEagle Front,ΓΓé¼┬¥ while ΓΓé¼┼ôRopeΓΓé¼┬¥ is solid roots rock buoyed by Weissenborn slide and bluesy harmonica bends. The song here that perhaps best illustrates Barefoot TruthΓΓé¼Γäós diversity is ΓΓé¼┼ôSolitude.ΓΓé¼┬¥ Starting with a searing guitar riff that digs in and holds on, the band lays down a bedrock of thick organ, dexterous drumming, and an agile bass line before leading to a fiery harmonica solo and some jazz-tinged keyboards.
