Careful Folk from H

hH is the project name from Hector Andres Silva, though his music is quite a bit more intimate than the word “project” might lead one to believe.  There’s a gentle touch to his work, with a fragile vocal rising atop a carefully picked guitar line.  There are two singles here, but they’re actually meant to be listened to as one piece, though in two separate movements, all influenced by Silva’s repeated listening to Nick Drake.  Overall, the piece is titled The Night She Fell, and I suggest you take some time to string it below; it’s the perfect sedative for early Monday listening.

FTC: Nick Drake

FTC_nickdrakeEvery once in a long while you hit upon something that triggers your memory, and you open up the door to your past; you revisit old haunts, and most importantly, you revisit old bands. You see, I grew up listening to Nick Drake, as my dad always played it around the house, so I was always a huge fan. His intricate guitar playing and his spectacular voice. Sure, Pink Moon is the most well-known album for this artist, due largely to Volkswagen, but all those who appreciate his music will surely find gems in the rest of his tunes. So young, so tragic, and yet so beyond brilliant. Every one needs a Nick Drake album in their collection. I’d like to thank the superb Pink Moon book from the 33 and 1/3 series for reminding me of Drake and his sublime talents.
