Song of the Day: “Classically Trained” from Englishman

Before I try to take any credit for finding this band, I didn’t.  One of my online friend and fellow fan of all things Slowcoustic, Ryan made mention of the album on a forum post and I took a listen and thought y’all might wanna hear it as well!

The songs on this self titled release are of the “indie-singer-songwriter-indie-pop” variety and catch you immediately.  While some are more upbeat and network TV ready, the album is a pretty good listen, especially the “Classically Trained” track among them.  Other stand outs for me include “Funnel of Love” and “Planted” as they tend to be on the shed-a-tear side of the spectrum.  Listen to why Englishman draws you in with ease:

The album was released in late 2010 and was aimed to give you warmth during the fall and winter months – something I am sure this album can do quite easily.  It is definitely something to accompany a slight chill in the air and a need for comfort.  Swing by and visit the boys on their Bandcamp page for more samples and even order the disc for a measly $8.00.
