A lovely, lilting album called How Long Will It Take from Atlanta's Thomas Howard. Shades of Red House Painters and Bon Iver.
A model lesson in how music that seems sad on the surface can actually make the listener happy. The Happy / Sad Tim Buckley Elliott Smith equation. Altogether a rather wonderful record.
Yeah, this is great, Bruce. This and the Heather Trost album were my favourite new albums from last week. The new Carla dal Forno is also good, if you haven't heard it yet.
