Goodbye Laura Palmer is a really underhyped project. He appeared on my blog two years ago with the second album, now I'm writing about his third one and not much has changed, the artist doesn't even have a Facebook fanpage. But he still makes some great music that can be listened to on III.
Just like on the previous albums, the attention is grabbed by the deep, fascinating vocal. A bit like Leonard Cohen, a bit like Rob Goodwin of The Slow Show. Plus moody, slowcore compositions fitting the heavy autumn weather perfectly. In some moments, as in You Know That I... the atmosphere is turned up and some tangible danger is felt in the air, in other ones, the peaceful melancholy takes over and doesn't want to stop. One of those albums that have to be admired in autumns.
III costs whatever you want to pay.
