EP Review

So my buddy Spencer Dukoff wrote a candid review of my EP A Little Less Rough (FREE listen & download here) on his blog. A lot of his thoughts are spot on with what I was trying to convey with these songs. It's nice to have another perspective from someone with a natch for writing (especially when it comes to music reviews.)

Check out his blog for music related goodness. He's a supremely cool dude. I wish I had half as much neato stuff going on as him. Ok I'm gushing now, I'm out.

Cool Perspective

In this Stereogum article with Fleet Foxes, they discuss their sophomore release and other related topics. It was a good read, but this tidbit at the end made me really perk up.

"After the first record came out, I had to really come to terms with what it is that we actually do. It sounds so pretentious, but in deciding to play folk music there is this almost curatorial aspect to the music you make. You are working within a tradition. Everybody who makes music is making a choice — you see the unlimited options out there and pick the one that feels right for you."

That last line rings pretty true for me. I'm in a place right now where I'm still trying to find and define my sound. I have a lot of music that gets me going and there are several directions I want to explore musically. The tough part is deciding what direction to go in. Unfortunately my choices are limited a bit right now for several reasons, but on the bright side, that buys me some time to decide. 

If you haven't heard of them already, and you dig Folk and/or gorgeous harmonies check out Fleet Foxes here. 

Please and thank you.
