Anyone in the mood for Howe Gelb ? I ask because the album Hisser is all about mood; laid-back, low-fi, careless and mellow. How often you feel like that is how often you might enjoy this album.
Songs kind of wash together, good bits break the surface like sparkling fish then disappear: no drama, and it almost seems, no effort. I read a review that talked about "a dusty piano", which may not be a legit musical description, but it gives an idea of the sound.
My own first impression; might have been better with a little more discipline, but then lack of discipline is its charm. Perhaps H Gelb+producers were caught in a baby-and-the-bath-water quandary at the editing stage and decided to release it without tampering or tidying. It certainly sounds that way.
This stands out as one of the best tracks, while title track, Hisser, stands out as one of the worst imo.
