The sheen of the sharp production and fine musicianship can hide the darker edges on this singer-songwriters’ first full length. Thematically, the songs are about isolation, despair and broken dreams. Musically, twangy guitars, banjo and mandolin parts interweave with “function generators,” synths and B-3 organs. There are even a couple of cello tracks. Auffenberg is a central Missouri transplant living in the bay area and the disc is released on SF’s Evangeline Records. For fans of: Wilco, Iron & Wine, Ryan Adams FCC Clean 1. (4:23) Slow, sorrowful piano ballad with a touch of twang. * 2. (4:23) Mid-tempo melodic track shows off his songwriting chops. Could’ve been a hit for the Eagles is they didn’t suck. ** 3. (3:25) Electronic touches, percussion and whispery vocals reminiscent of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Not your average road song. 4. (3:24) Twangy guitar and hooky chorus. *5. (3:44) Rhythm-heavy intro and beat back up a strong vocal performance. 6. (3:15) Up-tempo number a little heavy on production. 7. (4:35) Piano-driven song with cello and big chorus. 8. (4:03) Acoustic guitar with a power-pop feel. * 9. (4:58) Rich and beautiful melody. Simple keys plus voices. 10. (3:42) Blue-grass druggy SF ditty. | ||
