Pablo: There's Rope To Leave

Pablo
There's Rope To Leave
Self-Released [2009]








Fire Drill Review:
Pablo's debut was a somewhat laid back affair so the first noticeable difference with the groups sophomore record There's Rope To Leave is its expansion of sound and overall upbeat vibe. This uptempo vibe was developed over a year and half, as the record started off as an eight track bedroom recording in front man Paul Schalda’s home but ended up at Levon Helm's upstate New York recording studio. The final version showcases the fuller sound and gets stronger as you move into the middle of the record with the upbeat one-two-three of "Hey Luci", "Morning", and By Up I Mean", which are more memorable then anything else on the record and make There's Rope To Leave a quality second album for the band.

Key Track: "Morning"
