Tag: Burning in Our Name

You may not know the name Max Blansjaar just yet, but, if proper time is given, you might just have a songwriter who will be with you for years to come. Upon first listen to his latest track, you’re likely going to find his clever wordplay supremely charming, recalling folks like John Darnielle or Jeffrey Lewis; it’s both witty and narrative, making up for an album that you can get lost inside. In the first 45 seconds, you’re sitting right next to Max while he’s strumming and making everyone in the room swoon; arrangements then drop into the mix, with overlapping guitar lines that blossom into this whimsical piece you won’t be able to escape. If you champion great lyrical work matched by a lively bit of folk pop, then find your way to picking up a copy of False Comforts, out on June 21st via Beanie Tapes.
