When asked what genre they fit into, the members of Snake Oil Charlatans could throw out any one of at least 10 particular categories (blues, rock, psychedelic and progressive just to name a few). That's because Snake Oil Charlatans isn't so much a genre band as it is the love child of many genres -with influences that range from blues legend Gary Moore to garage rock patriarchs Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

"We all come from similar, but very different musical backgrounds," Dave Nyhuis (bass) said. "When we're writing, all of us kind of have our own take and we mesh with our unique styles."

The band entered Skull Studios last February to begin work on its first full-length album. For the project, the band tapped producer Matt Tenclay, who also mixed and mastered the group's debut EP, Elixir. This time around the band is aiming for a "cohesive" feel.

"There's a lot of themes about figuring yourself out," Wicks said. "There's a lot of negativity, though I didn't mean it to be that way. It's not a depressive album, for sure. It's very hopeful."

Perhaps the best example of this is the three-song suite at the end of the album. It begins with the song "Inertia," which Wicks says is about staying in a comfortable, yet destructive, situation. It's followed up by "Foxfire," a track about the consequences of being "lost."

But the suite closes with the title track, "You Will Find Your Way Back Home."

"It ends with a very hopeful note," Wicks said. "We wanted it to be a ‘don't stop trying' type song."

There's currently no scheduled release date for You Will Find Your Way Home. The band's previous EP can be heard in its entirety at reverbnation.com/snakeoilcharlatans.
