Local Review: Various Artists – Fall Songs

Various Artists
Fall Songs 

Self-Released
Street: 05.04
Fall Songs = Silversun Pickups + Isaac Brock + Tigers Jaw

Fall Songs single-handedly blew me away with its all-star compilation of acoustic tracks by Dance On My Grave, Generous Drugs, Bird Watcher and Westing. Raw emotion pours out of every song on this split EP, and each artist’s style complements the others’ flawlessly. Dance On My Grave’s vocals are highlighted in “Snakes,” and Generous Drugs’ “Northwest” could hold up to the likes of Isaac Brock. Westing’s execution and use of more than just a guitar adds unexpected new life to the end of the album, and Bird Watcher drives the heart and soul of this album with tracks like “Ms. Matches.” Fall Songs is a true all-star cast of Utah musicians. Each song complements the next and pushes the amazing collection of music to its full potential. Fall Songs can be found at birdwatchermusic.bandcamp.com and deserves that open spot in your music library. –Connor Brady
