Synopsis
Product Description Sigmon's Solo CD is New Smart Pop Rock for Hungry Adult Audience Sigmon's premiere solo release "One Opens Up" addresses an all-too-noticeable absence of intelligent, world-wise pop music. This thirteen song collection is an engaging piece of work that aspires to re-energize the genre for adults who grew up believing that music needed substance as well as style to be great. This self-performed, self-produced collection of catchy, witty observations has culminated from a decade of contemplation and introspection. Navigating in and around established pop territory, Sigmon layers Beatle-esque harmonies on top of Neil Finn pop sensibilities, and sprinkles in a quirkiness that is reminiscent of Peter Gabriel. Songs like "Millennium Man" take stock of humanity's current state after "three million years of evolution" while "Possibility"'s backbeat smacks of Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up". These thirteen tracks forge a sound that recalls many influences, yet is clearly unique, inspiring many more listens. |
CD ReviewsOne of the best independent albums I own Kevin P. Ryan | Southeastern MI | 03/19/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "As someone that works in a large chain bookstore that also sells music, I get to hear a great deal of new music but this album has tracks that remain the most listened to songs on my iPod. My Real Address and Feels Like a Finger to Me are my favorites but I don't think there's a bad track on the album. His lyrics are moving with a touch of the cynical (okay, maybe more than a touch). When describing Sigmon to my friends I've come up with this description, "His music is like the best of the catchy alternative music from the 80's written by an actual grown up" (as opposed to someone still trying to pretend the world hasn't changed). Listen to Millennium Man and you'll get the idea. Our parents couldn't program their VCR to stop flashing 12:00 but my kids can hack into their school and change their grades (humorous example, not true). Sigmon deserves far more attention and we deserve more of his music."
