We've also added some of our favorite tracks to the Songsalive! Indie Undeground Playlist on Spotify ALBUM REVIEW Archdeacon Frame of Mind Positivity oozes this album. Slams your ears into awesome high pace in the first song Livin’ the Dream, with a myriad of colorful guitar rhythms and solos and a very positive affirmation we can aspire to with the chorus lyric. Archdeacon has a great ability to use repetition to reinforce his strong positive choruses, “Be the change you want in the world, and be the change you seek” is so powerful and both ‘Be the Change’ and ‘Frame of Mind’ continues the theme of positivity that I could see him empower and lead motivational seminars with his music easily. Rhythmic guitars are definitely the thread that glues this album today. They really shine on ‘Resilience’ and there is a touch fo throwback to a vibe like Joe Satriana, Clapton or Santana. Production quality is superb. I love Archdeacon’s voice, but I fell in love with this track. You can tell that Archdeacon has taken his time to get this right and his guitar prowess absolutely shines. And then he made me cry. ‘My Angel’ is such a beautiful loving song - you are my angel who lights up my world / who loves me no matter wha / you re my angel sent from above / - could be about anyone, but he chose his mom and with the sensitivity of the added piano interwoven within the guitars, and a chorus behind him, I was touched and enlightened. 9 songs that hit home in every way - empowerment, positivity, family love, country pride, life retrospectives - this is a strong guitar-driven album filled with positive affirmations and a perfect morning wake up to make your day the best it can be.
