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 | ||
