Artist: Graham Janz
Title: we look like people for now
Release Date: July 10th, 2018
Label(s): none

If the reviewer wishes to argue that the album doesn't fit into the genres mentioned above, I'm all for it! All songs are performed on acoustic guitars. The lyrics are quite political, but poetic in more of a descriptive rather than preachy way. The second album part is an anti-work rock opera-type song, signified by the roman numerals. For fans of a mix between Leonard Cohen, Woodie Guthrie, Peter Hammill, and A Silver Mount Zion.

If you have any questions or would like to talk with me about the album, please feel free!

Here is the link below.

Hi Graham (if that's you posting)

Gave a fairly thorough listen to the first seven or 8 tracks and started zapping through the rest of the album.

I like it somewhat well enough, but as a member of the Prog Folk team, I'm quite sure your music doesn't fit the "prog" anfgle of this site.

BTW, I don't know if it's done on purpose, but you may want to record the track over again and try to have your fingers sliding on the strings of your guitar well down in the mix, because it's so loud that it becomes quickly relatively annoying.

Thanks Sean!

What genre would you say this album belongs to?

Which track do you think should be recorded over again? Or do you mean the whole album?

I'd say Wyrd Folk or neo-folk...

and I forgot to specify it was he first track that offended my ears, not the whole album.

I haven't heard of Wyrd Folk before. I will check this out. Thanks again! I find it difficult to get honest feedback and I really appreciate it when I get it.
