Finally some piece of mind, math influence without so much misleading chaos. Lots of acoustic fingerstyle picking. Posting this early in the morning and it's pretty hot out. I think I may have to soak in some sun and some smoke while listening to this album.

 Hmmm I somehow just discovered that David Davison of Maps and Atlases has his own solo EP out. Using the singer/songwriter approach, David writes 6 songs just under the 3 minute mark. Artistic, catchy, and sung by the beautiful voice of David himself, what's not to like?

Took me awhile to find this so I decided to document it on the blog. I've been hearing some buzz about this band and have listened to a couple songs but need to give it a good run through before I form an opinion. But what I do know is that Mansions is the project of a Kentucky man named Christopher Browder. He writes all the music himself which is pretty cool. For fans of Weatherbox or Brand New.

Anthony Green - Beautiful Things

A leak of the highly anticipated sophomore solo album by Anthony Green. After one listen through I can tell that this album is going to receive high reviews. Anthony brings in a lot more experimentation into this album, keeping it interesting the whole way through. He is as honest and real as he has ever been and it looks like Anthony's head has actually been set straight. I love the opening track, "If I Don't Sing."

If you are new to Anthony Green and this is the first you've heard of his material then I would highly recommend his first solo album Avalon as well.

Anthony Green - Avalon

      Anthony Green is the type of musician who is constantly working on multiple projects. Sometime between the release of Circa Survive's On Letting Go and Blue Sky Noise, Anthony hit the studio and recorded a number of solo songs. Some of the songs were created years ago by Anthony, but he never released them on an album. Some of the songs are new, recorded just for this album alone. Most of the songs are acoustic in nature but there are electric pulses throughout the album. Anthony Green had help recording and touring for the album by the band Good Old War, who is another favorite of mine. Good Old War add their "folky" touch to Anthony Green's beautiful voice and the final product is none other than Avalon.
