Give a Listen to Craig Martinson

April 22, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I think you really have to spend some time listening to this Craig Martinson track to really absorb it’s greatness. In the first minutes it goes from ballad to bouncy psych to Beatlesque pop; it’s not an easy task to make it flow so well together. It’s a journey that definitely takes time, but as each layer is unfolded, you’ll find yourself falling deeper into the song’s structure, willingly submitting to its power. Look forward to hearing his My Love is True EP; it should be filled with more songs for the journeyman listener.

Is That Lord Huron I Hear?

February 11, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I sure hope it’s Lord Huron! Okay, it is, but I feel like ever since I was turned onto the band, I’ve heard far less than I really wanted to hear…I guess not everyone writes at Ty Segall speed. The LA group has always had this organic spirit, pulling in various resources to complete their sound, rounding out the folk backbone of the song into exuberant bits of well-constructed pop tunes. The group has just announced that they’ll be releasing their new effort, Strange Trails, on April 7th via IAMSOUND Records. I’m excited for this; I always enjoy the work they complete. Look for them on tour this Spring, including a Stubbs spot here in Austin.
