As the former front man for the college rock outfit 28 and Waiting, Jeff Tuohy offers warm pop versatility with his debut album Breaking Down the Silence. The debut, produced by Aaron Katz (Percy Hill), surfaces with the radio pop of Jason Mraz mingled with the more introspective songwriting of Mason Jennings. And though the album feels more suitable for top 40 playlists than hip singer-songwriter coffee shop, there is still a serving for everyone.
From the ringing guitars of the opener “Unaware,” its obvious that Tuohy has a knack for pop, driven home with his emotional vocals. “Knock On Wood” is a dead on ringer for a radio hit with it’s undeniable chorus, while “Serenade” lets Tuohy’s white soul melt. Unfortunately in “Fields of Grey,” Tuohy goes a tad overboard on the saccharine, while the love hymn “Lindsey’s Song” is complete ballad cliché. But when Tuohy scrapes his soft side for the more aggressive attack of “Silence of the Spirit” or his humorous discord for Brandy and hangovers on “Brandy,” his voice truly shines. As he sings, “The World was built on chances/so I guess I should chance mine,” it appears Tuohy as made a good leap of faith with Breaking Down the Silence.
