Rehashed
Rock Ridge, 2025
9/10
An outfit spearheaded by the mult-instrumentalist Doug Albregts, as Little Falls Trophy he returns with an album that puts a fresh coat of paint on some earlier tunes and even tosses in a couple of covers.
The warm guitar of “My Little Sunshine” opens with a powerful duet, where Christy Lynn’s expressive pipes suit Albregts deeper voice amid some ambience, and “Tranquilizer Pill” follows with cozy acoustic guitar amid a lush backdrop.
“Addiction” and “Project 6636” land in the middle. The former benefits from Aaron Shafer-Haiss’ skilled drumming alongside a thicker presence of folk-rock, while the latter is a more intimate moment of soulful and heartfelt songwriting.
The covers arrive later into the album. Fountain Of Wayne’s “All Kinds Of Time” unfolds with a hazy and calming presence, and “The Weight”, by The Band, hints at some grit, where no lack of melody is present.
Albregts takes inspiration from The Beatles via this simple yet effective approach, and it further illustrates his authentic and timeless spirit.
