(Buddyhead / Rinehart Media)
With an art-rock-meets-singer-songwriter-folk sound, which seems to be the result of years of exploring different genres, and then being able to settle in to something thats comfortable and unique and always changing, Andrew Rineharts Nothing / Everything captures a series of jumbled narratives and feelings and molds them into a very human and honest experience. Throughout, his vocals have this ghostly mix of pain and indifference, like a distant memory that now represents a life lesson as much as a lingering thorn in the side. Sometimes meaning is straightforward, sometimes its buried. Sometimes the music is mellow and clean, sometimes its explosive and stormy. Its a roller coaster ride. Buy the ticket.
