Elusive Recluse |
(Independent) |
Sparsely recorded with a couple of acoustic guitars and a handful of vocals, Elusive Recluse is a testament to the strength of Alex Keleher's songwriting. Recluse's disturbingly compelling lyrics, layered harmonies and shape-shifting rhythms channel the spirit of master arrangers Brian Wilson and Syd Barrett, yet thrive in their lo-fi environment. If Keleher ever records with a full band, look out. |
