Dave Vargo
From East Brunswick, New Jersey, Vargo attended Berklee College of Music. After graduating with honors, he became a session musician and touring artist, while also performing solo, along with being half of the duo Kim and Dave, and playing with the Dave Vargo Trio.
Encompassing 11-tracks, Spaces In Between begins with “This Moment On,” opening on a light shimmering guitar flowing into an upbeat rhythm composed of a thumping-lite bassline and tight, crisp drumming. As the tune takes shape, it coruscates with delicious guitar colors topped by a wonderful solo, just right. Vargo’s tenor fills the lyrics with velvety tones, adding delightful luminous surface timbres.
Entry points on the album include “Without A Fight,” riding darker colors, along with heaving muscular tones. The rhythmic flow of this song is deliciously alluring, potent and contagious. Two distinct guitar solos imbue the tune with first searing and then skintight grinding nasal flavors.
Wow! 'Spaces In Between' is without a doubt on my list of Top 10 albums of the year.
“Rewrites” delivers oozing viscous bluesy savors seguing into glistening guitars, as Vargo’s dulcet high tones give the song urgent intensity. “Battle Burns” opens on jangly Byrd-like guitars, glistening with radiant hues, and then takes on a Midwestern-Americana-alt-rock flavor, tantalizing and somehow elusively familiar because of its gentle allure.
“In Between” travels on an infectious rhythm topped by glinting guitars and smooth, graceful vocals. Rumbling drums infuse the chorus with resounding depth, adding delicious rounded tones. “Miles Upon Your Heart” opens on bright vivid guitars skiffing above a wonderfully charming rhythmic pulse. When the music mousses up, layers of iridescent guitars infuse the tune with luscious surface hues.
The final track, “Not Alone,” has Vargo singing softly over creamy, shining guitars and a taut crunching beat. As the harmonics swell, the melody escalates with surging colors and compelling energy.
Wow! Spaces In Between is without a doubt on my list of Top 10 albums of the year. Wonderfully wrought, Dave Vargo’s talent is nonpareil. This is a magnificent album.
