Let's Not Talk About Music

Let's Not Talk About Music is the debut album by Burlington, Vermont musician Joey Agresta. The East Coast version of Sonny Smith - he even sounds like him, but more in the style of lo-fi bedroom pop. Honest vivid songs from a very promising singer-songwriter.

Something else from the press release:
American home tape recording artist from Burlington, Vermont who builds all his songs with an eraserheadless tape recorder which does not afford him the ability to listen to the previously recorded track as he adds layer after layer of detail to his music.

RIYL: Sonny & The Sunsets, The Lentils, Emotional, Gap Dream and Son Of Salami.
