Time Out 3
Self-Released, 2025
10/10
The Northern Michigan outfit The Accidentals spread their wings a little further this time around, where their folk template embraces plenty of influences and atypical ideas.
“Better Than Me” opens with Sav Madigan and Katie Larson’s harmonic voices alongside strong attention to mood and elegant strings, and “Someday We Won’t Live Here” follows with an intimate spirit of poetic singing and Katelynn Corll’s subdued drumming.
Moving into the middle, “Fly Away” radiates much warm via the pretty guitar and graceful cello, while “It Keeps The Lights On” is a bit fuller, where thumping drums and some rock’n’roll grit enter the sincere songwriting.
Arriving close to the end, the frisky “Kevin At The End Of World” offers a charming moment of playful lyrics and infectious instrumentation, and “Break Free” exits with a lullaby-esque demeanor of heartfelt song craft that’s got soulfulness and even some gospel spirit.
There’s even 3 bonus tracks (different versions of earlier tunes) to enjoy, as The Accidentals continue to prove that their blend of indie, folk, bluegrass, rock and classical sounds is some of the best music being made today.
