Title: Simplicity as a virtue...
Review: I had never heard of Great Lake Swimmers when this album popped up as a suggestion here on Amazon. I listened to the sample tracks and read some of the reviews and gave it a try.Ongiara has become one of my favorite albums. The quiet, calm, soothing music and vocals of Tony Dekker are the perfect, relaxing end to days that are so often filled with nothing but noise. The perfect music for a long drive or to play in the background as you fall asleep. Simplicity is Tony Dekker's greatest virtue, but he never lets the music get boring or overly sleepy. It's just simple, beautiful music done well.There is a folksy americana sound to Great Lake Swimmers that is somewhat similar to Fleet Foxes or Iron & Wine, but that doesn't quite define their music just right. However you describe it, it's beautiful music. Give it a try.
