I, Captain is a musical endeavor created by Pete Rogers, a New York-based artist who handles all composition and instrumentation himself. “Gone” is a track from his four-song EP titled One for the Money. Let’s explore more about it below.
I truly enjoyed the beginning of the song; it beautifully merges alternative rock with groovy funk, showcasing a clever and well-crafted approach. Additionally, the vocals are incredibly powerful, radiating raw emotional energy, which is quite remarkable. Regarding the music structure, I often find that solo artists struggle to create a cohesive sound. However, that is not the case with Pete Rogers’ project, I, Captain. The music here is perfectly shaped, and the instrumentation is tight and harmonious. As a guitarist myself, I usually notice guitar elements first, and I was genuinely impressed by the guitar tone. It strikes a perfect balance between vintage tones and a modern playing style, which is truly impressive. “I, Captains’ music, for the most part, is a combination of styles. This EP and in particular, the song “Gone” generate that old and new style that has been the staple for I, Captain’s sound while also bringing a new element.” – Pete Rogers’ I, Captain mastermind elaborated.
In my opinion, alternative music today has become quite repetitive. Therefore, it’s uncommon for me to come across something truly different… something that genuinely embodies the spirit of “Alternative.” Thankfully, I’ve discovered that in I, Captain‘s music. Now, it’s time to experience the magic and give it a listen below. And hey! Make sure to check out the entire EP… You’re going to love it! Cheers!
