With the same kind of matt drum sounds, haunting murmurs and resonating guitar chords as in Phil Elverum’s projects (The Microphones, Mount Eerie), Garciaphone manages to make soft ballads sound powerful and instantly enjoyable from a melodic point of view.

You might find it hard to get the piano lines of “Every Song of Sorrow is New” or the choruses of “A Hole in the Universe” and “Oh Sleepless World” out of your head.
