CD REVIEW: Gatlin Elms "Carry Me Home"

Carry Me Home
Maybe not a name that many have heard of, Gatlin Elms' brand of indie pop rock is both familiar and intriguing. Not many bands sound exactly like this so it's hard to nail down a strict comparison. That in itself makes this album a great one. The songs "Letting Go" and "This Is Life" could easily find their way onto any rock or pop radio station anywhere in the country. You might find yourself hearing elements of Snow Patrol or even Mat Kearney in some of the songs. Gatlin Elms is one of those unique cases where you are unable to pigeonhole them into one specific genre, making their avenues for success much wider than usual. This album is going to turn the heads that need to be turned and make new fans out of a lot of unsuspecting people.
