104.7 The Point & Magic Hat Brewing welcome
After a Grammy nomination, and top 10 albums in The New Yorker and Time Magazine, Tift Merritt took hiatus with a piano in Paris and came home with her best and most personal songs to date. Her new album Another Country has gotten incredible reviews.
"...a smart, sardonic quality reminiscent of Jackson Browne ...the soulful tenderness of Norah Jones...the bubbly folk melodicism of Feist... a new and compelling direction for Merritt."
--Associated Press
"Merritt is a force to be reckoned with as a vocalist and songwriter in any genre she approaches."
--Paste
The typical adjectives used to describe singer songwriters don’t really apply to Patrick Park. The contemplativeness and over analysis that are so often behind the heady brand of music Park proffers doesn’t appear in his creative process. Indeed, his decisiveness is rare, if not unprecedented, in so introspective an artist. He doesn’t agonize over his music; he just makes it. He doesn’t purr out the lyrics; he sings them in full voice, putting everything he’s got into every line. Park’s verbal precision recalls Leonard Cohen, his forcefulness rivals that of Neil Young and the Dylan of “Positively 4th Street.” His songs teem with dramatic tension, vivid character sketches and fitful visions of inner turmoil.
