Zachary Cale
Noise of Welcome

Genre: Singer-Songwriter, Folk
Label: All Hands Electric

We were recently thrilled by the announcement that Zach Cale got a new record ready. The release date is 17th May and he unveiled the whole thing for full stream on his bandcamp.
So after a few listens I think this album is just great and a good follower of his earlier work with Illuminations. I can't tell you why. It's his voice, the songwriting, the guitar.
Most remarkable are two moody instrumentals (Dead Channel Overture and Nocturne in G Minor) and the overall use of atmospheres and details in the background. It ranges from pure folk stuff to basic american rock themes, that would like your dad too.

"Zachary Cale is a songwriter's songwriter, as prolific as he is original. His voice can be delicate for love or wry for satire. The ability to hear what is in a song has guided him well in the making of his own." -John Allen (WFMU)

Anyway lots of bubbles... His tour starts soon, in mid May (US Tourdates 2011) and he comes to Europe in September - so keep your eyes peeled. Pre-order the record here and Adagio830 take care for the European edition of the album.

(Blake's Way is my favorite!)
