Original Folk Rock Music

Chucky Trading Co’s A Sky of Hopes continues to deliver throughout its 11-song runtime. A balanced and masterful release that is a testimony to the superb musical chemistry between brother and sister Taber, and to their innate songwriting and arranging gifts. The second studio effort from the talented duo is one to dedicate an evening just to savor.

Fresh from the oven, the song opens with a string-led, cinematic intro that sets the stage for the song’s dramatic atmosphere even before any lyrics are sung. And once the vocal smoothly glides on, the full band of piano, drums, and fiddle join in on the fun, and everything is tied together into a euphoric flow. Interestingly, “Psychopath Cool” also experiments with more contemporary sounds and inventive arrangements while retaining the band’s classic folk-rock roots in the process.

Immersing us with a bold and glistening guitar-driven soundscape, we are already obsessed with What I Want, which opens with the romantic and assertive lyrics, “You just walked through the door like you knew a thing or two, you seem pretty damn sure that I’m still in love with you…”

The song expands to tell the story of a bitter breakup, and features an enigmatic and emotive power-pop soundscape that reminds us of The Beatles and The Beach Boys, but it is clear that Chucky Trading Co are creating a universe of their own.

With their single ‘Honey Bee’, Chucky Trading Co filled us with endless affection, before dropping us into the intimacy of ‘Sweet & Sour’. ‘In the Dark’ considers a more philosophical topic through its progressive yet classic rock tones.

Bringing the sounds of 80s power pop to their folk-rock foundations, they draw us into something that is both completely new and achingly familiar.

Chucky Trading Co bring an Americana/folk sound to the blues genre on Margarita, a song that has an interesting, almost Latin style rhythm to it, making it sound very upbeat. The mix of different styles here makes the music seen very innovative, making you want to dance along in time to the track. The little guitar melodies in the background add most of the bluesy feeling, with the minimalist guitar style adding a certain something to it.

On top of giving those Laurel Canyon vibes, “Peace With The Devil” was highly cinematic. Rightfully compared to celebrated series like ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Yellowstone,’ this track painted a clear picture of the tale of an outlaw, or at least someone who lived on the outside of the expected. All of that said, there was something very modern about this track that made my mind also wander to current soundtracks in Quentin Tarantino movies because musically, this song has a lot of sensual movement to the way it’s delivered.
