It’s hard to choose only two songs to showcase Nathan Moomaw’s latest album, 26 (itunes), due to the eclectic folk nature of the album. Each song was written and recorded during one month of his twenty sixth year on the planet and each track has its own unique flavor and style. Put together they form a solid new folk album with some nods to diverse acts like Elliot Smith, Joseph Arthur, and The Flaming Lips. It’s fun to listen to the entire album in one sitting and reflect on how Nathan’s life changed over twelve months. To hear musical influences come and go and to find the sublte consistencies that exist throughout this solid album.
mp3 : Nathan Moomaw - April
mp3 : Nathan Moomaw - January
Both of these songs are great and I feel they lean away from references of other musicians and more towards the core of Nathan’s natural talent. He creates an easy style of folk music {an almost fairytale quality folk music} that is as much at home this year as it will be twenty years from now.
