Southerly : Best Dressed And Expressionless (2004)

Dead Letter Records : CD/LP (12 Songs) : www.dharmakayamusic.com

I have to admit, I was intimidated by the task of reviewing this album. Southerly is unlike anything I've ever heard before, without being so experimental that it's unlistenable. The songs are breathtaking and carefully sculpted--hard to believe they're the work of someone so young. Krist, the mastermind behind Southerly, started this project in his basement in 2001 after being in a handful of bands and running an independent record label. His bio says, "It is music to be enjoyed at home with headphones on by candle light, but with company near by." And that's exactly what it is.

Rating: BUY!
