Details: Product descriptionOleander ~ UnwindAmazon.caThis fine follow-up to Oleander’s gold-selling 1999 effort,February Son, finds the quartet coming into their own, forging an identity in an often-faceless pop-rock field populated by the likes of Collective Soul and Candlebox. Fronted by the dynamic Thomas Flowers, the group has blossomed from their Nirvana-lite roots into something more original and expansive. Witness the darkly evocative « Are You There? » which moves easily into « Halo, » a lilting ballad rife with strings. From the funky and spare « Benign » to the rah-rah rave-up « Jimmy Shaker Day » to the soaring and soulful, Lenny Kravtiz-like « Tightrope, » there’s nary a loser to be found.Unwind is most interesting on the harder-edged songs such as the raucous but taut « She’s Up, She’s Down. » With stellar production, thoughtful arrangements, and well-crafted songs,Unwind is the kind of album that fans and radio programmers alike can embrace. The Sacramento-bred band may be named after a poisonous flower, but this burgeoning bunch is anything but toxic.–Katherine Turman
