Brooke Waggoner “Sweven”

The Jan 15th full-length from Brooke Waggoner is now streaming in full over on FLOOD. I’ve had the pleasure of previewing this album over the last few weeks and it’s a beautiful piece of work. It’s early days but please mark this down as contender for Best Of 2016. It’s intricate and intimate (”Fink”), it’s gleeful and strangely optimistic (”Pennies and Youth”) and, maybe most importantly, it has moments of very macabre strangeness mixed in (”Cherry Pick”).

It’s a diverse album that manages to maintain its identity while keeping things interesting from start to finish. Let’s hope this is the first of many more great albums in this vein.
