Family Friendly Rockers, Imagination Movers, have put their unique modern-day stamp on the world of Rock ‘N’ Roll with the intent to incorporate all walks of life and all ages into the mix. Here’s our track-to-track thoughts of their latest album release, ‘10-4’.
Kicking off with the first track, “Socks”, the guys create an atmosphere similar to the musical style of Barenaked Ladies get down to the bare bones with simple lyricism that will create an opportunity for fun and unity between parents and their children. The second track, “So Glad You’re Here”, slows it down into a showcase of vocal talent and lyricism that subconsciously serves to teach children the importance of connection and building healthy friendships. “Talking to the Baby” is the third track that has fluid instrumental synergy that creates a lively vibe while lyrics that travel through the experience of being a golden human prize that gets loved and passed around and is practically swiped from the memory of a human being. The fourth track, “Mad Hatter’s Tea Party”, is an album highlight that morphs into a experimental dose of awe as the guys of Imagination Movers create a kaleidoscopic journey into a world that was brought to life by their eclectic and innovative minds.
“Butterfly Wings (featuring Lisa Loeb)” is the fifth track that slows it down with a soft and gentle opening by Lisa in which metaphorically rich lyrics speak of the days of the chrysalis that are abounding with lessons leading to the emergence of a butterfly. The sixth track, “Is That Wrong”, instantly mimics the instrumental style of Jet and sticks out with an edgy groove that is full of rebellion and style. “Stacking Game” is the seventh track that energetically manifests along the way as instrumentals swiftly dabble between Blink 182 in their ‘Enema of the State’ days to Hoobastank in their self-titled days.The eighth track, “Sunday Morning Song”, lyrically leads listeners into cherishing the slow and easy Sundays that are meant for relaxation and being with yours loved ones. “Tow Truck (featuring The Durbulence)” is the ninth track that showcases the abilities of the guys of Imagination Movers as they take a turn down the Hip-Hop road and believe it or not, make it happen. The twelfth track, “The Hiking Song”, begins with an opening of children making everyday sounds and noises in the studio and then leads into a lyrical ode toward the great outdoors and the therapeutic benefits of staying active. Closing out cleverly with “#Fuzzylittlecat”, the guys end with a quick and short dose of Folk as lyrics that speak of their undying love for their cat charms the hearts of both children and their parents.
The guys of Imagination Movers awaken the childlike qualities that tend to run astray in adulthood within listeners throughout every listen. Having performed on Good Morning America and having had their music being featured on The Ellen Degeneres Show, Imagination Movers have soared through awakening wonder, creativity and freedom of expression.
