Bay Area indie rock staple Michael Vincent returns with his eighth full-length release, ‘Sky Blue (C’mon, C’mon!)’, a high-energy album that pulls from across his wide-ranging catalog while hitting with fresh urgency. The record blends edgy indie rock and power pop with flashes of garage and grunge, alongside a few nods to Vincent’s earlier folk-rock leanings. Known for balancing bright originals with time-tested instincts, Vincent comes out swinging, setting the tone immediately with the album’s explosive opener.
A standout moment arrives via a collaboration with Charles Norman, whose raw, forceful arrangement of “C’mon, C’mon!” became the catalyst for the album’s momentum. “The energy of Charles’ arrangement is so ‘in-your-face’ unavoidable, it just makes sense to have the song come right out of the chute! It grabs you by your shirt and hauls you away!” Vincent says. Released via Angel Blossom Records, the album follows the critically praised ‘Electric Fox’ and marks Vincent’s first release available on vinyl, further cementing his long-running presence as one of the Bay Area’s most resilient and creative independent voices.
