JEFF HANSON - Madam Owl, Kill Rock Stars

This is the third album from Kill Rock Stars songwriter Jeff Hanson, and if you're new to his work, prepare yourself for a bit of confusion. Hanson's voice apparently gets branded as 'otherworldly' and you can hear some Bobb Trimble in there, and perhaps an Elliott Smith-style approach to melody and double-tracking, but more often than not you'll find yourself skirting between comparisons along the lines of Judee Sill, Kate Bush or maybe Meg Baird. In any case, there is a quality to Hanson's vocal that defies any sense of fixture or an easy to pin down identity. Once you've acclimatised to those distinctive tones, a beautiful and layered record awaits you, decked out with lavish and ornate arrangements, elevating the album beyond the sort of modesty and sparseness that's often associated with the independent singer-songwriter. Highly recommended.
