Shipwreckee

"Shipwreckee, if it existed as a sight and not an album, would be the filtered rays of sunlight beating down on a coastal town on a foggy morning… Throughout his approximately 25 minutes, Christenson doles out heavy ruminations of loneliness, spiritual abandonment and, blessedly, rebirth." - theequalground

STANDARDS, VOL. 2

Standards, Vol. 1

Standards, Vol. 1 by vocalist Charlie Christenson focuses on clear, spare straight-eighth latin tunes and chilled-out ballads with no overdubs, auto-tune or general studio-trickery. This is a return to a classic, honest method of recording. 

The perfection lies not in how technically flawless the performances are, but how directly it captures the moment. Hopefully folks still enjoy listening to musicians who really listen to each other.
