“Straight Spines”

“So Said the Bird”

Two tracks from the forthcoming Michael Beach EP, Mountains + Valleys. It’ll be dropping on Twin Lakes Recs. on November 8th.

Just like his previous material, the two songs above remind me a lot of forlorn songwriters like Simon Joyner. After tracks like “So Said the Bird,” I’d even make a slight Timber Timbre comparison, actually.

Beach doesn’t remind me of these people in a carbon copy sort of way. I just feel attracted to his music for similar reasons. He’s got a strong, emotional edge, for one. Yeah, sure, everybody’s got emotions, but his poetic lyrics actually make the desperation and negativity I find in his songs interesting–especially when he’s packing them with the energy displayed on “Straight Spines.”

Beach is going out on tour to support this EP this Fall. Find the tour dates here.
