Somehow two new releases by And How have slipped past my ears. Need to pay more attention. I’ll focus on the newest one in this review (Tractor), but also know that the one before it (Letters Tied to Balloons) is just as good. While And How really has a sound of its own, many of the songs bear a Daniel Amos influence of mid-paced melancholic alternative rock. And How is essentially a one man project by Sean Severson that sounds more like a full band project. The driving “No Place to Hide” is probably my favorite of the bunch, but I pretty much like the whole set. These songs would make a good soundtrack on a rainy day to drive around while thinking about life. Oh, and did I forget to mention they are free? Not even listed as “pay what you want” – just flat out free. So check it out if you haven’t yet.
