Album Reviews

Chris Carrabba once broke teenage girls’ hearts with Dashboard Confessional and had them all singing along to songs about having his heart broken. He’s back at it now with a new project called Twin Forks, where he is joined by members of The Narrative and Bad Books.

As a result of that collaboration, we get twelve folky indie-pop songs that have been collected on one self-titled album.  One thing you notice right from the start is that Chris sure sounds a lot happier in 2014. It’s all very upbeat and people are clapping their hands and shouting ‘hey’ a lot while Chris is singing about a girl he saw playing the mandolin somewhere in the Village. I wish I could tell you what song it was, but I honestly couldn’t tell these tracks apart. Plus it sounded all a bit too cute to be taken seriously.
