Hey, I'm really liking this. Reminds me of Iron & Wine. I'd recommend you check him out if you aren't familiar with him.

Subways is my fave out of them all, the girls vocals work really well with yours (?). I think the song Harvest might benefit from an additional instrument in there as it's a little same-y throughout. It's a good song though.

If you could get these recorded in a better quality it would help but they pretty sound good as they are. With this type of music the recording has to be really spot on (I've got my volume whacked up to the max and it's still kinda hard to hear).

Sounds great though. The sort of stuff I could listen to anytime.

thanks, i really like iron and wine too. i've bumped up the volume a little so that might help. thanks, let me know if you have anything you want me to listen to.

i wish there were more acoustic songs like this to listen too on here. some of your songs remind me of Bright Eyes except that your lyrics aren't hallow and seems beautifully put together (e.g. subways and harvest). i can see and hear the iron and wine influence, those are nice foot steps to follow. the singing sometimes gets me, especially in harvest. the way you pronounce some words sounds too much like Conor Oberst. i'm not too fond of an achy singing style, unless it's absolutely called for, but that's just me. overall though, i am very impressed. wonderful job, keep it up. :smash:

here's some of my mundane stuff:
