Title: The real deal
Review: In this album Peter Rothbart combines original material and prose from his brother's Found magazine letters to create a lyrically haunting debut. The unusual combination of ethereal vocals and unwaveringly precise guitar give Rothbart's songs incredible weight. Due to such precise rythm, melodic accuracy and very clean production, this album stands out from other recent young folk musicians who have gone the lo-fi route--missing notes here and there and approaching rythm with drunken lethargy. Though I think Rothbart would benefit in the future from a slightly grittier sound, the honest beauty of his music is unmistakeable, and well worth the listen.
