Not unlike Mark Lanegan style dirges with Coldplay as a backing band, this wonderfully melancholic debut will soften even the hardest heart and conjure images of lonesome strolls reminiscing on the past. Thom Yorkiohead can be heard in Heath Koontz&#8217; vocals every now and again, but this band maintains a unique personality throughout these ten songs.<\/p>\n<p>A strange phenomenon contained on this album is the use of three guitars resulting in a light, almost folksy feel. That many strings usually add up to some psychedelic or fuzzed out heaviness, but here the result is a depth to acoustics. And the use of fan brushes on certain tracks really gives this a warm, jazzy drinks-on-the-couch sort of feel. Well-penned lyrics, which might dwell on the female of our species a bit too much, are engaging and eloquent nonetheless. Exceptional down tempo mope and roll built on mellow and contemplative sounds for those who enjoy songs as well as music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neva Dinova &#8220;Self-Titled&#8221; (Crank!
