Artist: Wiretree
Label: Cobaltworks
Genre: Pop
Who doesn’t love singer/songwriters? Me! Actually, that’s not true at all. I just have a problem with how many artists in the genre go the way of picking up an acoustic guitar and pushing out a bunch of songs that all sound alike. Although, because of that it does makes it all the better when guys like Kevin Peroni, who operates under the moniker of Wiretree, releases a sweeping effort like Bouldin. The record, which is Kevin’s first full length, is a good listen from front to back, and it features numerous pop influences that range from retro to more modern day folk-enthused work. In other words, you don’t get the same song over and over again. This is good. If you missed out on the album in 2007 then I would certainly recommend picking it up and giving it a listen here in the new year. You won’t regret it.
