Stalk That Myth by Bowery Boy Blue ended up in our inbox about two months ago. I’ve been itching for the release date to post this review because it took no more than one listen to enjoy it. It took a few more to really start finding the nooks and crannies in the music.
The band is fronted by Zeb Gould and evolved from his solo work. Gould and crew deliver a 32 minute set of melancholic Americana that is at parts, beautiful (Eye For Love) and at others heartbreaking (Ghost Of The Blues). The production work is well thought out and they have a knack for finding the perfect accompaniment for Gould’s vocals and lyrics – Nothing too overpowering or complex to take away from the end game.
Strings, banjo picking, steel are all present and used perfectly on Stalk That Myth. The lead track, however, brings some crunching chords that will have everyone comparing them to Magnolia Electric Co. and Crazy Horse.
The Brooklyn outfit is releasing their debut July 29th on Space Photo Records.
