Certain songwriters are perfectly content with sticking to the same style of songwriting, and essentially re-writing the same album for their entire careers. These people are not fans of ‘variety,’ ‘evolution,’ or ‘being interesting.’ It is what it is, though, and for every songwriter that fits that bland profile there’s one like Chad VanGaalen that brings a variety of influences to his musical palette, creating an album as submersive as it is diverse.

Has anyone heard of Ramona Cordova? Damn, too bad, that guy is amazing. Score is for Ramon. the album art's color scheme reminds me of Cat Power's 'You Are Free', yet it looks nothing like it. thats cool. This was one of my favourite albums of last year. Softer and quieter than what I usually listen to, it really grew on me. i enjoy this immensely. Wow, when I saw this review, I was almost 100% sure it would be by Adam. I saw this guy open for Band of Horses last year and he was hilarious. The plaintive but yearning delivery accompanies the delicate musicianship with the emotion that instruments can just not offer, but even the programmed drum beats and tactful acoustic strumming is able to bring out some feeling. | Features
