Editorial Reviews
Tom Scanlon, Seattle Times, July 2004.
...the Graze's "Iowa Anvil" is a highly entertaining and consistently strong first full-length...
Passionate, heartfelt songs inspired by Elliott Smith or Nick Drake but with is own original voice.... Great debut.
...one of the most promising indie rock releases since Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

Product Description
Ten songs of melodic, hook-laden, lo-fi indie melancholia in sparse guitar-and-vocal arrangements as well as full-on rock, with guitars and vocals reminiscent of Neutral Milk Hotel and Nirvana. Iowa Anvil has also been compared to Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, the Beatles, and Bright Eyes.

Acoustic Grunge,
By Goshou (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Iowa Anvil (Audio CD)
The Graze's debut album, Iowa Anvil, is a sort of amalgamation of early Nirvana/Soundgarden style grunge with a touch of Death Cab and a hit of Damien Rice. The lyrics are solid, not necessarily rhyming but simply doing what they want when they want, and the stories they tell are enjoyable.I have to say, though, the music itself is where this album really shines. It really is a grunge style, but in a flavor that was really uncommon when grunge was popular. I mean, when one thinks of grunge, one generally thinks of distorted, electric guitars - and don't get me wrong, they show up a couple of times, and to great effect. But the guitar's being mainly acoustic lends this album a nice, mellow quality that most grunge doesn't have to offer. Now, that might not be someone's cup of tea; but it happens to be mine. This is definitely a wonderful debut album, so if you enjoy grunge, and more mellow music, this cd is just about perfect for you.
