Harry Kimball Lisbon, Maine
Harry Kimball is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose compositions carry a wistful melancholy tinged with dark humor. He borrows from John Prine’s sepia realism and Warren Zevon’s playful world-weariness, adding the lyrical density of Stephen Malkmus and the literary sensibilities of Bill Callahan.

Harry Kimball recommends:
This record is soulful, authentic, gritty, very funny and very confident. It also is stealthily pop gold. Paul Cauthen has chops and is also interesting. Johnny Cash meets Rihanna plus Dr. John.

Diane Cluck was my first up-close encounter with a songwriter who was unabashed by her need to express her talent. Sidewalk Cafe, NYC circa 2001. This record brings me back; as brilliant as ever.

Spending Eternity In A Japanese Convenience Store
by Forests
I just really really love this. I think it is because I am jealous of the easy virtuosity and the enthusiasm. I never knew I was a Midwestern emo guy until I found it on Bandcamp from Singapore!
