Easily the best debut album of the year, Paul Marshall's Vultures presents some of the best quiet folk in a long time. Immediately, he conjures images of Nick Drake, except instead of playing for a corner in the wall, he?s playing to a quiet venue full of avid listeners. Unlike other recent vocal artists, who sacrifice their control for emotional catharsis, Marshall remains under control throughout the entire album, his guitar technique and voice always perfect. Overall brilliance.
