Search - Brad Laner :: Neighbor Singing (Dig)

I am shocked at how often I listen to this album

"Ok, I've always loved the band Medicine, even their much more eclectic 2003 album, The Mechanical Forces of Love. So when I found out Brad Laner, one of the founders of the band, was releasing his own album, I was excited. I just had no clue the result would end up being such brilliance. If I had to give it some kind of genre, I guess i would say Electro-retro-folk, but there are a thousand other elements going on, such as remnants of shoegazing from the Medicine days and 60's pop sounds and 70's Crosby Stills and Nash-esque melodies. Now, although I own thousands of albums, I am the worst at reviewing any of them or even explaining why I like them. So I won't try here. I will just say, this album is now in my top 5 albums to bring to a desert island. it's one of the most original, eclectic, sporadic, random yet warm and melodic albums out there and if my vocabulary was up to the challenge, I would NOT stop praising this. AMAZING!!!"
