"Chiko's Records & Wigs" is blue sky foundry's 5th self-produced, independently released offering. In typical fashion, the band's songs run the gamut, at once sounding like old-school R.E.M./10,000 Maniacs then only to make an about-face providing textures and attitude expected from the likes of Stone Temple Pilots or Third Eye Blind. Paramount in the collective mind of blue sky foundry is the songcraft. Melody, groove and insightful lyrical themes take precedence over any individual performance. As a result, the songs reign supreme and never falter for the lack of self-indulgence by any of the band members. The singer's voice is like a good wine; smooth and seductively potent. The backing music is similarly seamless yet formidable. The band knows when and how to push in every direction (musically, vocally and lyrically) and each song, in its own right, could stand by itself as a hit in its respective genre. For many years blue sky foundry has honed its trade and this work is the next logical step in the progression. The listener reaps the benefit of a 4 year album release hiatus as "Chiko's" is actually a double album consisting of 19 A-side quality tracks on the disc entitled, "Records" and 7 B-side outtakes on the disc entitled, "Wigs". Though self-produced, the quality of this double disc set is commercial ready as if the band is backed and produced by a major label. blue sky foundry has clearly mastered the art of studio recording and post production. There is something here for everyone and probably everything here for more than just a few someones. blue sky foundry threatens to be great yet again.
