Philmont

The Transition EP
Caliber Recordings

It is always nice to hear lyrics that actually make sense. That is what “The Transition EP” by the group Philmont has to offer. The words are straightforward and easy to follow, except when instrumentation is so prominent that it drowns the vocals.

The six tracks that make up “The Transition EP” are decidedly rock. However, one selection, “The Last Song I Sing,” detours a little, conveying a more melodious, but haunting, sound reminiscent of the 1970s group Kansas.

Though God and Jesus are not mentioned by name in the lyrics, the songs do have a clear message: “When all is said and done, You will remain”; “Your words keep ringing through my head”; “my work is in vain.”

No doubt, Philmont and “The Transition EP” have potential.
