An awakening folk stirring takes hold on “Hide Your Ammo,” a recent track from Portland-based artist Blair Borax. An initial acoustic-set sparseness complements lyrics reflective of deep introspection, hinting at a second-guessing. The wordless vocal sequences channels ample momentum, as does the cohesively impactful drive into the “died with his secrets,” — immersing with its piano-laden touch into another memorable sequence of bristling acoustics and wordless vocal enthusiasm. “Hide Your Ammo” is a moving success, exploring themes of sacrifice in the face of good and evil.
