Simple Beauty
I love emusic - where else would you come across wonderful random discoveries like this? "Quiet Waters" is a descriptive title for this minimalistic, unassuming record which reminds me of Lou Reed and Cat Power but mostly Lou Reed. It is not simplistic by any means though. Sparse arrangements direct your attention to subtle changes in melodies and vocals. The songs feel like modern poetry set to music. Favorite songs so far: "Everyone Else" and "Walk With Light" which features - gasp! - piano.
