Christian music fans have watched the multi-instrumentalist and multi-talented Bryce Avary -- AKA The Rocket Summer -- grow up over the years. His latest album, Zoetic, continues with the pop/rock sound he's always had, but this time around, it's much heavier on the pop side. What seems to keep the album from becoming just another boring pop record is that just when the pop sheen gets a little too thick, Bryce cuts through it with some very aggressive -- borderline screamed -- vocals. It's probably not The Rocket Summer's best work overall, but Bryce gives listeners a little different experience this time around. More than anything, Zoetic seems to be another step in his maturation process. Give it a listen and judge for yourself. "Same Air" is a good place to start if you're looking to feel this one out first.
