This is the second single from Give this summer, and it's twice as good as the first. While "Heaven is Waiting" was recorded in the same Inner Ear Studio sessions as this one, it featured the first two songs they wrote and practiced as the current incarnation of the band. Essentially, "Boots of Faith" is the first glimpse as to what we can expect from Give in the future. While they may still wear their eclectic influences proudly/loudly on their sleeves, these guys seem more focused and in control than before. Highlights: the main riff on side A is haunting and the ending of the B side is killer. The lyrics which gave me goosebumps on the 12", gave me butterflies this time around. "Shaking hands with the smiling sun.." Hell yes. Lowlights: It's not an LP!
