I’ll try not to be too cliche, but ‘To The Secrets And Knowledge’ is both a familiar and a fresh take on the almost 8 year old band, all at the same time. Familiar in the sense that existing fans won’t really be surprised by anything on the record, but new in that it feels like Jeff Schneeweis is really embracing being the sole member for the recording of these songs.

Even though a lot of the stylistic choices which separate this album [and the last] from the rest of Number One Gun’s discography seem to be ones based on circumstance, the occasional electronic elements, or sound fillers, don’t distract from the great music. “Noises” should be a track able to grab your attention right away and is a refreshing change for the band, while the cover of “Don’t Stop Believing” is not bad if not simply a played out song choice. Keep your eyes on this album
