Description
Joe Pernice is a musician from the Eastern Seaboard who has a unique sound that is reminiscent of Elliott Smith and Brian Wilson. He sings sad, sad songs about suicide and dead love and it makes for a bright gem of a disc.
Joe Pernice is to the Eastern Seaboard what Elliott Smith is to the Pacific Northwest: anything but happy, the ex-Scud Mountain Boy forgoes the cowboy Bread covers and surrounds himself with Van Dyke Parks/Brian Wilson-like orchestral arrangements, singing sad, sad songs about suicide and dead love in his fragile warble. Strangely, this makes for a bright gem of a disc filled with 1973-AM-pop-radio-worthy jewels.
