A shining example of the beauty of reflective songwriting & the power of this when placed alongside a somewhat more classic, mellow rap vibe.
Songwriter
The realness embedded within the lyrics adds to the genuine, indie feel of the whole thing. It’s music to believe in, to relate to, to turn up loud & enjoy.
As a musician, it’s impossible to question the level of skill Chris Murphy has achieved through playing & exploring sound so creatively & so consistently.
It’s a pleasure to listen to & it comes with a message of truth, that music is this universal tool for everyone to share & connect with others through.
Danny Baxley offers a fresh, creative take on music & artistic expression. To turn it up loud, enjoy & escape to; Ithaca has its own voice & energy.
The brightness & bounce of the music is clear from the offset. Jackson Howard’s voice is laid bare, so you get a genuine, honest feel from the whole thing.
The raw energy of punk rock with the easy going realness of acoustic folk. It’s an organic sound that generally comes across as part of a live show.
It’s really just a beautiful recording, a great song, hopefully one that has a positive influence on all who hear it. A pleasure to experience.
Deeply atmospheric & unique. You’re able to feel this connection with the performance as well as lose yourself in the overall sound of the music.
A true songwriter. The songs portray superb & often charming stories that need to be told, in whatever manner the artist & the mood deem worthy.
The artist’s unique perspective is well worth listening to, the added benefit of course is that the music surrounding this is ever creative & clever.
Not just an appealing, straight to the point album title, but the doorway to a vibrant & beautiful gathering of songs from a passionate songwriter.
