Nice! Need more of this.
Wait, what? This is really cool. I had no idea this was happening. Great work, Friends of Hemming Park.
Yes. Tell your friends. We need a good showing at this, so they will continue bringing in relevant acts like this.
These are my two favorites:
Shut In is a pretty complete song and recorded well.
Goshen 97 is very well-written, but the producers dropped the ball on making a fantastic album recording. I didn't like the full-band arrangement much (see: dude noodling on guitar the whole time and very tasteless drumming). Instead, I linked to his Tiny Desk Concert. It is the first song. I find him a bit hit or miss, but the good ones are good.

Nice! I've been wanting to catch these guys for a few years now. Definitely checking it out.

That "dude" "noodling" is J. Motherfucking Mascis.
I didn't realize it was J. Mascis. No wonder it sounds like a 90's jam session. It makes a little more sense that the guitar was given a more prominent role in the mix. However, I still think it sounds terrible and distracts from the fantastic melodies in the song. I would have left that song pretty bare bones and let J ruin one of my other tracks.
But no one asked me, so...

Sorry if that seemed a little cranky-- I dont necessarily disagree with you, but when it's J. Mascis, that's like critic-proof.
I'm with you. J has spent years earning his place in rock history. He gets a bit of a pass. Come to think of it, so does Strand of Oaks. If J Mascis is digging on your song and wants to play/produce it, you have to let him, right? I mean, you can't say no.
