Discovering new music that I enjoy is getting more and more difficult for me. Â Tons of bands just end up sounding the same and melting together. Â However, I stumbled a band called Poverty Hollow, and they’ve gotten me hooked. Â Even better, they’re a local band. I love CT and all of the creativity it expels, but PH has really taken the spotlight in my eyes.
“Big Claw” is a brilliant song. It is wonderfully composed, intricate and interesting. Â The vocals are lovely, and all together, it sounds nearly like a Brand New demo off of “Daisy”. Â The crescendos and changes that drive the tune definitely kept my attention and it’s all just so unpredictable, which is great.
“Pleasantly Unenjoyable” has been stuck in my head for a while now. Â There’s so many little details incorporated that I pick up something new every time I listen to it. Â This song definitely solidified my love for PH, and has made me beyond intrigued to delve into their other music, and to spread them like the plague. Â They can really appeal to fans of every genre; the vocals are stunning, the musicianship is fascinating and impressive, and the overall sound is pleasant and anything but boring.
An older song of theirs, “Reverie”, is an absolute masterpiece. Â It’s so ambient and calming, and I can’t even imagine how phenomenal this would be live. Â It suits the vocalist so well and it’s almost ethereal. Â It’s definitely my favorite song of theirs; I can’t get enough of it. Â I wish it was even longer because I could listen to it forever. Â However, putting it on repeat will do just fine.
