Wheat guides the way home. They finish the story. This band from Taunton, MA patiently ushers chords that revel in the inevitable. The songs off their most recent record, White Ink, Black Ink, nestle into an unhurried ebb and flow as they materialize in the moment when the future becomes the now. Wheat’s “Living 2 Die vs. Dying to Live,” stretches out its weary fibers with calm resolve. Expansive background vocals dress up mid-tempo drums and minimal guitar. A brief violin solo at the bridge adds a quiet grandeur to the simple sentiments. An ending feels nigh – not feared or eagerly expected, but accepted, and here. Wheat makes music for all the drivers coasting home on a dark turnpike, and for the regulars watching from roadside diners, the softly lit, omniscient observers of movement and return. Tie up your loose ends with Wheat, Saturday, June 26 at Great Scott.
