Gentle, folky pop with lots of lush instrumental touches -- lots of piano (played by leader Andy Grooms), occasional trumpet, lots of acoustic guitars. Really nice stuff with a modern sound that borrows from lots of old musical traditions. Leaves you feeling pretty good. Grooms' vocals are melancholy, but he doesn't take himself too seriously.
Interesting band name: "Andy Grooms Living Room." It sounds like there should be an apostrophe in "Grooms," but there isn't -- Andy's surname is plural/possessive all by itself.
1- Gloopy and spacey; uncharacteristic
2- Midtempo and gentle, with a playful stomping beat
3- Stormy and theatrical
4- Midtempo and pleasant, a quaint Dixie-folk air
5- Strong midtempo sadness. Delicate chamber music intro.
6- Fast waltz. Suddenly crunchy and loud at the end.
7- Cool and slow, with loungy trumpet
8- Jazzy and sly, with a thumping beat and fast-patter vocals
9- Midtempo, a sad feel. Spacey instrumental at the end, segues into:
10- Slow folk ballad
11- A rolling character drama, like a less gritty Tom Waits
12- Dirge-like but pleasant, a nice closer
