New Favourite: Conrad Plymouth

So it is true that this EP hit me out of nowhere, but I think I really expected it to.

The reason I expected it to be great was the fact that I have a secret man-crush on another blogger that will go un-named as I am a shy & fragile creature and I know he likes it.  So then I must like it.  I also have a lot of “crushes” in other bloggers as I am such a music fiend that when I find someone who I admire, it is just natural.  Who hasn’t become fond of a teacher in school, an actor that you admire, etc.  And before you freaks read into this, this is a music crush here people!  HA!  Okay, whatever.

So this other blogger is a big fan of a lot of artists that I also am a big fan of, so in turn I knew I would like Conrad Plymouth.  I just knew it, but sometimes you still have to find out, and find out I did.  This 4 track EP available on their Bandcamp page is stunning (CLICK HERE).  It is gorgeous and flows over you – I mean if you are into that sort of thing.  It is such a full sound without being drowned in itself – it feels warm, expansive and yet delicate and personal.  This is the good stuff.  And yes, I know I tend to be a bit of a softy when it comes to talking about music on this blog – but it doesn’t mean it isn’t a hell of an EP from this Milwaukee (soon to be) staple.

Of the 4 tracks, 3 are available completely free (including the one below – but go get the full 320 kbps version) and with only one track, “Fergus Falls” having a pay-what-you-want option (and no minimum, thank you very much).  Plunk in a couple of bucks and pick it up – highly recommended.  This might be one of my favourite EPs of the year so far….you never know come year end.
