4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as broken social scene, but still good, September 20, 2004

A great release from one of the lead guitarists of Broken Social Scene. An atmospheric and dreamy, while also upbeat and engaging album that has a tendency to put a spell on me. I'll start listening to the CD, and then I'll get put into this trance where I completely lose track of time. Next thing I know the CD is over.
The album starts off with the repetition of the bluesy riff on "folkloric feel" that will start to draw you in. After the magical "baby your in luck" you'll be hooked. By the time you hear the hypnotizing "they shoot horses don't they" you will be completely be emersed in the Folkloric Feel.
So why only four stars. Well, a couple of songs, such as "kings and queens",although great songs, tend to drag on a little too long and become kind of boring.
Although there may be a lack of consistency, the album creates an amazing world of sound in your head that will pluck you from the worries of the everyday world, and make you feel ok (at least for an hour).

The more I listen to It, the more I like It.
If you like dreamy, mellow lo-fi music, buy this one !

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)   

This review is from: Folkloric Feel (Audio CD)

In spite of the constant references made about this album as being Latin-tinged, I find it more of a "must listen to" reference for fans of folk and alternative, in general, and Broken Social Scene (BSS), more specifically. Andrew Whiteman, lead guitar for BSS, heads up this project and blends his insanely creative guitar work with the most gorgeous vocal harmonies and percussion to yield song after song that make "Folkloric Feel" an album to love and play on repeat over and over.
