Only Son – The Drop To The Top
Only Son is the music of NYC based songwriter Jack Dishel. The Drop To The Top just came out, and I am definitely digging parts of it.
Jack has has opened for both Regina Spektor and Adam Green on their tours of Europe, the UK and the United States. He will be opening solo for Regina Spektor once again this fall on her US tour before returning to NYC to play shows with his full band. Before creating Only Son, Jack was the frontman of NYC band Stipplicon as well as lead guitarist for The Moldy Peaches.
Check out Jack’s site to buy album.
The Drop To The Top:
Only Son – Brand New Broken Heart
Only Son – Quiet Surrender (sound kinda reminds me of Ben Folds. Anyone?)
I think if Islands and Ben Folds collaborated, it would be Quiet Surrender.
haha. I really like the first track.
Great stuff… i like it a lot. Also… awesome blog.
There is an immaturity to the melodies and a repetitive simplicity to the music. Although not offensive, I think I would grow tired of these songs.
the most profound things are often the simplest. people mistake complexity for maturity. i think the fact that he is able to put across giant ideas through simple lines is amazing. this stuff is great.
