Welcome, Lil’ Album O’ The Week!
Thursday, September 4th, 2008You might have noticed a cute little widget in the sidebar. Yes, oh yes, we’re starting an Album O’ The Week over here at Verbal Intent. Once a week, I’ll update and post about the album I’m currently listening to with a bit of a review for you. Let me know your thoughts on the musak, and as always send me your suggestions of music that I should be listening to.
This week, I’m listening to a ton of Tom Freund’s new album “Collapsible Plans” produced by our very own Ben Harper. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this album. On the one hand, I love it because it sounds like Ben Harper’s music just sung by a different guy. But when you hear it right next to older Tom Freund you almost feel like Ben Harper beat the heck out of Tom and forced him to become a soulful black dude instead. Not that it’s bad, it just doesn’t sound fully like Tom Freund.
At any rate, he’s a heck of a songwriter and can sing while playing upright bass which is a remarkable feat in and of itself. Ask Matty.
You can preview some of the songs from “Collapsible Plans” in the little Amazon widget in the sidebar. Enjoy!
