Single Review: Hold On 7″

Band: Mark Sultan
Release: 2009

Comments: Pretty good shit from Sultan here. Nothing too exciting, yet nothing too depressing. The music is vintage, as expected. “Hold On” has the pace of an above average 50s/60s rock & roll piece. The B-side, “I Hear A New World,” is experimentally satisfying, sounding at times a bit like a mixture of a Christmas tune and a freak folk campfire classic. That said, it won’t knock you off your ass. No one said it should.

Grades: “Hold On” (8.0); “I Hear A New World” (8.6)
