Flinders

Add Date: November 24

Artist: Flinders

Album: See Saw Still

Label: The C

Genre: Folk

Comments: I wrote this record off as a mere singer-songwriter, but in actually listening to the music (and not just looking at the art), it's certainly above par. Flinders does the poppier thing on "Mid Term Way," but gets bizarre on tracks like "The Light of the World" and "Closed, Closed and Dear," the latter of which showcases his nice falsetto. Flinders -- Ireland's Philip Flynn -- isn't afraid to run a simple bass-heavy progression to the ground as he solos overtop with his voice, making for some fine tunes and some not-so-fine ones. Start with 2 or 4.
