Tomas Pagan Motta - Tomas Pagan Motta (2015)

This is a striking album of hyper-personal folk of the finest kind: extremely intimate songs that are transmuted through clever wordplay and layered arrangements that afford a universal accessibility. Given that these songs most certainly were written on and for guitar with little accompaniment, the instruments that do join in are tender and as intimate as the songs themselves. The result is a pastoral, elegant album; eight songs that concisely display the work of a mature artist with a unique way of spinning his tales.
