\"QuietTown\"Alright, stick with me here. I don\u2019t want to scare people off, because this is a different album for Deni. But trust me, the difference is good. Quiet Town is more textured, deeper, richer, and more of a grower than Deni\u2019s previous albums. Not that his previous work wasn\u2019t deep \u2013 this just seems to go deeper. Quiet Town<\/em> is one of those albums that strikes you as different on the first listen, but you\u2019re not sure about it. However, you are sure you are intrigued by it. So you go back to listen again. Which then leaves you feeling that you\u2019re still not sure what you think, but you can feel the music getting its hooks into you. So you listen again, and again, until finally you are telling yourself: \u201cI wish this was on vinyl.\u201d Oh, but wait: it will be! \u201cInto the West\u201d starts off with a strong feeling of nostalgia and longing \u2013 I\u2019m not even sure what is making that spaceship sound in the beginning, but it\u2019s pretty cool. \u201cSilly Boy\u201d is a bit of a fun, rambling song that dips into Americana territory. Then there is the cover of \u201cIn The Air Tonight\u201d that adds an interesting sonic twist near the end before the album closes with the hopeful song \u201cGospel.\u201d A hopeful song with no real lyrics? Yeah, you have to hear it to know what I mean. For those that want a good, deep album to dig into with layers of sounds and lyrics, I can\u2019t recommend this one enough.<\/p>\n[2014 Independent | Pre-order:\u00a0denigauthier.bandcamp.com<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
