Review by Randa Johnson

Hearing Aids, the latest album from Various, is a collection of tracks that showcase the diverse talents of the artists involved. From the opening track, the listener is drawn into a world of intricate melodies, driving rhythms, and thoughtful lyrics.

The album features a range of different musical styles, from the soaring, anthemic rock of "The Last Time" to the introspective, acoustic balladry of "Lost and Found". Each track offers something new and different, showcasing the range and depth of talent on display.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Echoes", a haunting, atmospheric piece that builds slowly to a climax of soaring guitars and thunderous drums. It's a testament to the skill of the musicians involved that they can create such a powerful, emotional piece of music without relying on bombast or excess.

Summary by Randa Johnson

Hearing Aids is a strong, cohesive album that showcases the talents of some of the best musicians working today. Whether you're a fan of indie rock, folk, or any other genre, there's something here for everyone. Highly recommended.
