What We’re Listening To…
Dave Matthews Band: Walk Around The Moon
Once the sound of a whole generation, Dave Matthews returns with a new release that promises to be as bright and vibrant as ever. That said, fans of the band may be surprised by a simpler, more acoustically-driven sound than other recent releases. Still present of course, is the unmistakable gruff of Matthews’ voice and the ever-present laid back vibe of the band’s sound.
Paul Simon: Seven Psalms
It often seems like Paul Simon has been around forever, so it’s hard to fathom that his May release, Seven Psalms, is only his fifth solo studio album to date. According to Simon, the idea for this album came in a dream. Now 81, the singer–songwriter explores themes of memory and mortality in his work. Listeners will be comforted to hear Simon’s familiar poetic lyrics layered over soft acoustic melodies and experimental soundscapes.
