"Don't Look Back" is the debut album from Los Angeles pop/rock duo, Merlot Embargo. Here's what it's not: programmed beats, thick layers of synthesizers, or songs assembled from samples. Instead, "Don't Look Back" is a journey through both the serious and the silly, with songs made the old-fashioned way: memorable hooks and thoughtful lyrics, performed by a band with a deep pocket and a singer with a deeper soul. Listeners who enjoy Adele, Brandi Carlisle, John Mayer, The Beatles and other soulful, groovy artists will find a lot to love about this album.
