The album opens with the bass-driven &#8220;Pumpkin Man,&#8221; defining the mood with its mix of 1990s alternative\u00a0and 1980s college rock jangle, placing Amici in a group of serious, guitar-based songwriters. &#8220;Spin That Ball&#8221; continues in the same musical area. Melodic guitar work accompanies Amici&#8217;s strong vocal performance, offering the song a nostalgic but dynamic atmosphere. Then comes a surprise: &#8220;Cynthia, Come to Me&#8221; begins with weird synths and eventually develops into a funk-rock piece filled with alt-rock strength, providing a dynamic touch to the album&#8217;s vital rock character. Tracks such as &#8220;Girl Next Door&#8221; and &#8220;Remedy&#8221; seem to have a more stripped-down folk sound, relying mainly on acoustic guitar. However, these songs soon develop into stronger, classic\u00a0rock compositions, revealing Amici&#8217;s\u00a0love of old rock storytelling. The highlight track is &#8220;Junky Eyes,&#8221; a dreamy, acoustically driven track that moves between folk and psych-rock vibes. The appearance of a beautifully placed saxophone raises the song to almost cinematic level. It&#8217;s psychedelic, dedicated, and possibly the album&#8217;s peak. The rest of Tragicomic pushes deeper into recognizable classic rock space, drawing inspiration from the biggest names such as Tom Petty and Neil Young. Overall, Tragicomic is a diverse but strong album. It combines alternative rock, folk, and classic\u00a0American rock, with a spiritual lyrical tone and stylistic variety that motivates\u00a0listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2853720099\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/gregamici.bandcamp.com\/album\/tragicomic\">Tragicomic by Greg Amici<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo Credit: Greg Amici &#8211; photo by Mark Jaworski<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gregamici.com\">https:\/\/www.gregamici.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GregAmiciMusic\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GregAmiciMusic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gregamici.bandcamp.com\/\">http:\/\/gregamici.bandcamp.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greg Amici&#8217;s Tragicomic is a diverse album\u00a0that crosses the emotional line between sarcasm and sincerity,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27458,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[365,226,283,4478],"class_list":["post-27885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-alternative-rock","tag-classic-rock","tag-folk","tag-greg-amici"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27885"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27896,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27885\/revisions\/27896"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
