This, Broomtree's third release, was produced by Marc Byrd of Common Children fame, and bears some of the base-layer electric guitar distortion -- whether it be in wall or wah-wah form -- that cemented CC's modern rock appeal. Kylie Schilg handles the static strings and lead vocals in a proficient and sometimes soulful manner, displaying a wizened pop ethos. "Find Me" is a strong illustration of her range and confidence in variables, as well as a thick and hanging display of the aforementioned arid guitar mixing. While not a completely consistent album, with a few songs that get left out to dry too long -- collecting over-produced sappy dew or fading in the sun ("Song of Desire," "Maybe this Time," etc.) -- it is impressive how often Schilg and crew are able to dig deep into a brainstorm of hard rock muse while maintaining a genteel presence ("Reach Past," "Deliver Me," etc.). Or, to put it less vaguely, Broomtree take a similar approach to Plumb's first album, but pull it off (most of the time) with more grit, teeth, and spirit.
