Jeremiah Nelson

\"Undeniably solid songwriting\" - AV Club

\"Sonic poetry\" - Isthmus

There\'s something lonely and heartbreaking hiding underneath Nelson\'s sonic layerings.These songs are about feeling lost, drinking, nostalgia in romance, journeying and finding one\'s self, in part through music. On the majestic, \"Skin To Touch\", Nelson sings about a sort of Midwestern ennui: \"You can drive all night and get nowhere / Eighteen wheels spinning in thin air / Getting only served after last call / Counting seconds between lightning and thunder / I find diamonds in the dirt\" before the song bursts into these run-on lyrics about a resurrection-through-music, \"Then my ears begin to ring / And I heard my voice begin to sing / And I felt my fingers on the strings / I know the future\'s gonna sting.\" It\'s simply stunning. There are shades of Bob Dylan lyricism, the poetic vocal splintering and instrumental build of The Decemberists and the odd beauty of Elvis Perkins, all wrapped up in this rock and country-tinged song serving as a dynamic call to music.
