Blah ​Blah ​Love​ and ​War ​is​ ​yet​ ​another​ ​blast​ ​of​ ​vocal​ ​and​ ​songwriting​ ​greatness​ ​from​ ​Los Angeles-based​ ​trio​ ​The​ ​Rescues.​ ​The​ ​voices​ ​of​ ​principals​ ​Gabriel​ ​Mann,​ ​Kyler​ ​England,​ ​and Adrianne​ ​Gonzalez​ ​are​ ​angelic​ ​and,​ ​as​ ​they​ ​sing​ ​soundtrack​ ​material​ ​for​ ​TV​ ​shows​ ​like​ ​One Tree​ ​Hill,​ ​Private​ ​Practice,​ ​and​ ​Grey’s​ ​Anatomy,​ ​may​ ​seem​ ​instantly​ ​familiar​ ​to​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​people.

The​ ​three​ ​singers​ ​and​ ​songwriters​ ​are​ ​an​ ​uncommonly​ ​strong​ ​musical​ ​unit​ ​and​ ​expertly​ ​extract loads​ ​of​ ​emotion​ ​and​ ​musicality​ ​from​ ​each​ ​of​ ​their​ ​songs. Emotion​ ​overflows​ ​from​ ​this​ ​record​ ​and​ ​seems​ ​to​ ​come​ ​from​ ​a​ ​different​ ​well​ ​this​ ​time​ ​out.​ ​As you​ ​might​ ​guess​ ​from​ ​the​ ​title,​ ​​Blah Blah Love​ and​ War ​is​ ​a​ ​breakup​ ​album,​ ​a​ ​roadmap​ ​of​ ​the journey​ ​from​ ​lover​ ​to​ ​enemy​ ​most​ ​of​ ​us​ ​are​ ​all-too-familiar​ ​with.​ ​Heartbreak​ ​is​ ​often​ ​a​ ​fertile​ ​time and​ ​topic​ ​for​ ​creative​ ​souls​ ​and​ ​whatever​ ​happened​ ​to​ ​inspire​ ​these​ ​songs​ ​surely​ ​left​ ​a permanent​ ​scar​ ​or​ ​two.​

“Did​ ​It​ ​Really​ ​Even​ ​Matter?”​ ​is​ ​an​ ​epic​ ​dysfunction​ ​and​ ​divorce​ ​song​ ​on the​ ​Fleetwood​ ​Mac​ ​​Rumors level​ ​and​ ​paints​ ​a​ ​difficult​ ​yet​ ​powerful​ ​picture​ ​of​ ​love​ ​gone​ ​south. “Runaway”​ ​is​ ​a​ ​delicate​ ​gem​ ​about​ ​misplaced​ ​loyalty​ ​in​ ​the​ ​face​ ​of​ ​inflicted​ ​pain​ ​and​ ​“Never​ ​Let You​ ​Go”​ ​deals​ ​with​ ​standing​ ​strong​ ​while​ ​living​ ​with​ ​crippling​ ​uncertainty.​ ​Sonically,​ ​this​ ​is another​ ​helping​ ​of​ ​The​ ​Rescues’​ ​typical​ ​ear​ ​candy​ ​and​ ​the​ ​group​ ​has​ ​a​ ​knack​ ​for​ ​finding​ ​and developing​ ​every​ ​possible​ ​vocal​ ​and​ ​instrumental​ ​hook​ ​in​ ​any​ ​song.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​always​ ​something going​ ​on​ ​but​ ​it’s​ ​never​ ​too​ ​showy​ ​or​ ​overblown.

Fans​ ​of​ ​modern​ ​singer/songwriter​ ​music​ ​need​ ​to​ ​get​ ​with​ ​The​ ​Rescues​ ​and​ ​​Blah Blah​ Love​ and War ​is​ ​an​ ​excellent​ ​place​ ​to​ ​start.​ ​These​ ​songs​ ​are​ ​a​ ​perfect​ ​example​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Tom​ ​Waits​ ​quote about​ ​beautiful​ ​melodies​ ​telling​ ​us​ ​terrible​ ​things​ ​and​ ​have​ ​the​ ​power​ ​to​ ​take​ ​listeners​ ​deep inside​ ​the​ ​lives​ ​they’re​ ​about.​ ​It’s​ ​a​ ​tough​ ​descent​ ​but​ ​each​ ​level​ ​is​ ​just​ ​beautiful.
