Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
On Skeleton's title track, Red Fox Run's songwriting shows considerable growth, displaying a flair for dynamics and bombast and resulting in the kind of power pop made by acts like the Sweet. "Lucky Sevens," meanwhile, is imbued with jittery energy, sounding like the work of a latter-day post-punk band with a dash of introspection. "Rest Your Bones," a tune that speaks to secrets best exposed and remembered — rather than hidden in shame — as a path to psychological liberation, makes the overarching theme of the album clear. The song's repeated, expansive chorus plays like an incantation with which to drive out one's inner darkness. "Something Is Wrong" flutters with an inner flicker of fire, and "We All Got It" uses sin as a symbol and points to the things we need to forgive within ourselves and others.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
