SHANE LARMAND
Shane Larmand has a great connection with the music that he writes and his most recent LP gives you an idea of how he approaches a singer-songwriter and Americana laden style of songwriting, and these songs are tastefully performed and loaded with instrumentation and it gives the whole record of flavorsome spirit
As you listen through the national Ramble LP you'll find that Shane's singing is one of the things that not only gets your attention but tells you stories and they're done with a charm to them which only gets you more involved.
When you listen to these songs, you can hear the depth that this release gives and it is satisfying to drink these songs in because there is a lot of truth being exuded from them, so it does have a very individualized and personalized feel.
This is just part of how he writes his music. You will hear a slew of influences that must have inspired him to write songs in the first place along with that honest approach and those two things give a lot of life to these tracks.
You get a great set of tones from acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and harmonica, just to name a few and the artist manages to pull everything together so that it all sounds connected with a record that has an outstanding flow to it along with a little bit of the unexpected.
The Alberta-based songwriter dubs his style "Nomad Folk" as he brings these traveling nature elements into the tones of his songs.
Shane has been at this for quite some time and this is a sophomore release bringing together folk and rock along with Americana and an unmistakable southern tone.
The record is brilliant and has something for just about everyone, especially those who like stories in their songs.
Give this release a spin as it's more than worth your time.
