Yimmy Kil The complexity and depth of this album is where the brilliance lies. Compared to his other solo albums it’s a more difficult listen but that’s where it’s beauty truly is at. His albums can’t just be listened to. They must be studied like a great literature author is in college. Music is better for every song and album Will Johnson creates. My favorite on this one is Mulnomah. Favorite track: Mulnomah.

about

Will Johnson’s latest solo album, Swan City Vampires, is distinguished by its immediacy and intimacy. Crisp, measured acoustic guitars cushion the Austin-based singer-songwriter’s equally precise, conspiratorial vocals, while keening pedal steel, droning electric guitars, and the occasional askew keyboard add color. The results fall somewhere in the cracks between Neil Young and Crazy Horse noise hurricanes, road-worn folk songs, and low-key alt-country barnstorming.
