Chris Gar-NOW.

new artist review time.

so there's this adorable little man i've been listening to for a while now. his name is Chris Garneau. In the very best possible way, he's more or less the male equivalent of Regina Spektor. seriously, don't let that discourage you from listening to him. though i've never met the man, or even seen him perform live, he seems to have a modest, humble disposition that fits his mousey hipster image, as well as his music perfectly. i find Garneau's voice almost too soothing. i couldn't even fall asleep to his album if i wanted to, it keeps me awake wishing i could sing like him just so i could get half as many chicks to come on to me. The songs are all relatively simple from a musical standpoint; basic chord progressions looped around and around in the shape of simple riffs, though they are often accompanied by a string or two, and even some horns are peppered in. as simple as the music may be, it's endearing, and beautiful. I should note his lyrics are something worth paying attention to, he undoubtedly has a lyrical style all his own to match his unique vocal style.

i guess that's all i can really say. it's 4am, and i'm not so great of a writer (especially when it comes to content) even under better circumstances. watch the sweetass video below.
