Review

In the summer of '99, Colombian-born, Brooklyn-based singer and songster John Wolfington blindly sent a 5 song demo to Two Dollar Guitar majordomo Tim Foljahn. Floored by the quality of the songs and the sparse, intimate production ‹ most of the material had been recorded in Wolfington¹s bathroom, using simple drum machine patterns or brushes on a live drum ‹Tim passed the tape on to Steve Shelley, and the two of them agreed to work with John on recording his debut.

The album was recorded over the next six months in several locations, including Brooklyn¹s Rare Book Room with engineer Nicolas Vernhes. Steve and Tim play on over half the songs, with the rest sporting simple drum loops and Wolfington's sweltering croon and lithe, ethereal, instrumental work on drums, piano, Moog, bass, and drum machine. The album is rounded out by some of the original bathroom recordings.

Trace elements of Cat Power, Arab Strap, and Echo & the Bunnymen all turn up, but the album transcends these influences with it's strongly original songs and classicly nuanced performances and production. Although each song differs in execution, all share a similar ability to get inside the listener¹s head. Standout tracks include 'Twelve Miles Per Hour', a stripped down drum loop and guitar lament, and 'Ageless Sky', an uptempo, SY-influenced full-band workout.
