[ROCK] Formerly an eight piece vehicle for the songwriting of Joe Michelini, now touring in a group of five to support the brand new Deliverance (Anchor & Hope), New Jersey’s River City Extension makes spirited and jangly music that appeals to both fans of Americana and indie-pop. The new disc offers an even wider palette of musical possibilities, injecting the mix with delicious (and unexpected) bits of 1970’s AM-radio soul. The results are more accessible than past releases, but it’s far from a sellout. Instead, Deliverance presents a musical snapshot (taken, amusingly enough, at a lodge in the Poconos) of a talented band that’s capable of weaving powerful hooks into their progressive arrangements without over-sanding the edges. They’re at Studio at The Waiting Room on Tuesday, April 14 with Cold Fronts and Our Modern Moloch.
