5.0 out of 5 stars Great music for times when you need quiet, March 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Dissolving Room (Audio CD)

Lately I have been in great need for music that indulges my need for solitude, and this album really gives me what I need. It seems not to many people know about this album, but if you are prone to turning everything off and just listening to music then add this one to your plate. There are some string bass and I think cello accompaniments and I guess if you like Elliot Smith or The Rolling Stones "Ruby Tuesday" style music, you will like this...I am not good at comparing this band...they are not exactly like anybody else, but just to give you an idea about what I mean.

This record is a stunning debut from two of Austin's most talented young songwriters. At once emotional and subdued, the songs float around themes of secret passions, unrest, and always the encroaching shadow of death. The arrangements are sparse and pure, and the lyrics are dreamy and poetic. Definitely check this out if you like Belle & Sebastian or Nick Drake....

These songs are so painful and true... His voice is so sweet and full of heartache... This is good stuff. But be warned- it might break your heart.
