Ben Sollee – Panning for Gold
Sollee is no perfect stranger to this site. The only solo album he has released so far is perfect autumnal aural candy, its soft string work & jaunty guitar lines contrasting sometimes as sharply as yellow spined leaves against the sky. This is music for a gentler volume, its lyrics begging delicacy & its drifting layered violas fleshing out themes & escalating emotion with an unexpected vigor. When it really gets going, its start & stop rhythm is nearly enrapturing.
Welcome back, we’re hitting it again in full swing. Don’t let me slip again, faithful!
