A walk through one of southern Oregon’s historic pioneer cemeteries is like touring an outdoor museum. Before electricity, airplanes or internet there were trading posts, steam boats and covered wagons enabling early settlers to trek westward where some lived, died and were buried under Oregon soil. The Linkville Pioneer Cemetery on Upton Street in Klamath Falls is a beautifully maintained plot of land rich with local history engraved in its near 6000 markers. Epitaphs mark the deaths of feuding cattlemen, betrayed women, and sheep land dispute victims. But some individuals’ final moments stand out on the brochure given to visitors who stroll through the cemetery’s serene, rolling hills. It was May 5, 1945, when Reverend Archie Mitchell and his pregnant wife took five Sunday school children out for a day of fishing and picnicking on a river near Bly. Unbeknownst to them, a Japanese balloon bomb drifted in and the large, hydrogen-filled paper balloon exploded, killing all but t he reverend. They were the only civilian casualties of war killed on the U.S. mainland and a marker honors three of the children’s deaths.

Not only does he tour the country playing his own solo work, but locally-based Micah McCaw also tours as a member of bands named Seaons (see-ons) and everett as well. His music is described as guitar driven progressive rock. I agree with that, but let me add his music fuses together a unique blend of soul depth, indie folk soundscape, and cerebral matter. McCaw’s voice sounds like frontman Nick Hexum’s from the band 311; a slightly nerdy quality to it, but aesthetically pleasing nonetheless. And, he has quite a describes the politician as having “insatiable greed,” running a “country that’s vocal range, which is especially heard in an earlier release, “Blemishes.” In this not yours to police.” He sardonically adds, “Let’s drop some napalm so we can emotionally vulnerable song, his voice occasionally slips effortlessly into a smooth promote peace.” The song heads towards its conclusion with McCaw’s guitar falsetto and then soon after sets back down into his usual vocal register again. The suddenly becoming frustrated and impatient, abruptly driving this message home current singles, though, are much more edgy and confident; McCaw must want to in a climactic frenzy. emphasize his ability to have versatility in his work. In “Meadowlark,” the intro and outro of the song sounds like a muffled, churning His next album, “Imbalances,” is scheduled for release early 2020 (January piece of machinery; fittingly—or perhaps ironically—so, given what seems like 10)—and, with a sneak preview, the Messenger tuned into the first singles pulled McCaw’s philosophy about being alive, being present, honest, and human.

If the “The Dance,” the lead single, has a start-stop-start syncopation energy. wax builds in your ears you can’t hear the meadowlark.” Again, the lyrics seem to Musically, the song has parts that contain an echoey guitar riff behind the main have many possible targets and meanings; for me, though, the social commentary guitar line running through the song’s entirety. “The books all fell apart,” McCaw seemed to be McCaw’s way of talking about people with their heads buried in the sings. “The pages smeared into the dark. The future has a flare but I never know if sand…or their phones. it’s there.” I love when artists do something unique, and with an artistic intent that After first hearing and reading the lyrics, I thought that the song was about requires more than one listen to “get.” Such is the case with McCaw’s Bible series struggling with uncertainty; there’s a conflicted quality to reflecting on the past in which he takes the first Bible characters in order and personifies them, starting and being worried about the future, and the mixed emotions about both engage in with Adam. He progressively adds lengths of time matching song parts that build a delicate dance with each other. with each character. For example, “Adam” is in one part lasting exactly one minute But then I come to find out from the artist’s bio that “The Dance” is more about long. “Eve” is next and in two parts, the first being exactly one minute and the the “complexities of finding balance in a world that increasingly forces many to second being exactly two minutes, and so forth. The description of the three parts focus on work and status over family and health.” Whoa. I already liked the song of “Abel,” each exactly one minute longer than the last, reads “Abel speaks of his because of his reflective voice and skillful, syncopated guitars and drums, but that feelings leading up to, during, and after his murder.” insight really struck a chord with me. McCaw is a dynamic and smart songwriter, and the sampling of singles from The second single, “Manifest Destiny,” leads us on a guided tour of political his forthcoming album hint at a profound offering worthy of more than one listen. corruption.
