Search - Salim Nourallah :: A Way To Your Heart

On this solo EP, a companion piece to his full-length CD Polaroid released by Western Vinyl, Nourallah continues to mine the side of music he explored with the Nourallah Brothers. His achingly engaging voice keeps the path the album seeks: longing for love and the past. Many of Salim?s songs have a soft, bittersweet quality about them. Blending folk with Beatles, 60?s British pop, Salim?s style also brings to moment some of Wilco?s quieter moments.. The songs are simple; most of them fronted by an acoustic guitar with synthesizer accompaniment floating in the background with an organic production that recalls Jon Brion?s style. As in the world, where fame is measurement by six degrees of separation, it turns out Brion and Nourallah have a friend in common, Rhett Miller of the Old ?97s, for whom Brion produced his Elektra released solo album. Nourallah served as bassist for Rhett Miller?s touring band, The Instigators during tours of Japan and the U.S. in 2003. WOULD SOUND GOOD ON A MIX TAPE WITH: Wilco, Elliot Smith, Damien Jurado, Rhett Miller, Magnetic Fields, Aimee Mann
