Sequels are a tricky business, but there’s no denying that the second album by Toby Mobbs, ‘In Between The Words’, is different in every way that is good. The rock is heavier, the pop is sweeter, the production is solid, and the writing is strong. What this album does share with his debut is the wide variety of genres that seems to now be an artistic mark for Mobbs. From the 90s rock throwback of ‘Run Back To You’, the balanced softness of ‘Same’, the anthemic rise of the first single ‘Coming Back To Me’, to what can only be described as a night at the opera with the final track ‘Surrender’, ‘In Between The Words’ showcases what Mobbs’ can bring to the table in the indie landscape. Mobbs has also brought a wealth of talent along with him from almost a full orchestra, a wide range of vocalists, and even Gang of Youths’ drummer, Donnie Borzestowski. In a time where independent releases can fly under the radar, this isn’t one to sleep on and deserves a listen.
