Sepia tones for those dark autumnal hours; melancholic
acoustic songs interspersed with lo-fi home-recorded
experiments.
Reviews ---
A vinyl only release of sadly hushed singing tones, quietly
strummed acoustic songs and moody bedroom recording
experiments. Fans of Hood will appreciate the down-tempo vibes
and ambient waves. If I was forced to come up with a new genre
of music I'd call this lo-fi bedroom folk. If I was being
belligerent (which I admit I sometimes am here at the towers)
I would maybe implore the singer to lighten up, get out more
and also to give out a little more. This way, maybe he'd belt
out his songs with a little more gusto. On the contrary
though, if he took any heed of poor music retailers like
myself, his forte of bruised fragility wouldn't come across in
such an achingly blue way. Which I think is probably the key
selling point of this LP. - Norman Records
