Ledges is still the greatest acoustic album I've ever heard. It's platinum in my opinion. the songs are real, meaningful and they can relate to almost anybody. Just a brilliant album from start to finish. Not one bad song.
+kilo7285 I've seen him live twice. Once at a very small venue.. I honestly think he is a much better singer live.. He's incredible. A huge part of their sound is the vocal harmonies. It ads so much to the fullness of their songs.
I am such a Big Fan of Noah Gundersen and his Family Band. But feel I'm late to Acknowledge his Voice and Music. But it is my Go to Music to Relax and Smile. Great Job Noah as you Grow
YES! This has proven that younger bands can still turn out beautiful work. The world needs more of this true, from the heart music. I look forward to hearing more and more.
I saw them at Cafe 939 in Boston and they opened with Poor Man's Son, the first tune on this video. It was staggeringly perfect - the audience was awed and it was the most silent I'd seen a crowd in a long time. Truly special.
Everything Noah and his siblings create is absolutely mind blowing. And I don't know that I've seen many artists/bands that perform as amazingly well live. He's so young. I love the current music, and I look forward to seeing what masterpieces he creates in the future. Mmm.
It seems every time I start liking a band/artist about a month later they show up on KEXP. Is it that my taste is good, or that marketing works super well?
Amazing singer songwriter! they are very hard to find today: here's a few I've found Freya Ridings, Gregory Alan Isakov, Hollow Coves, Joshua Hyslop, Peter Bradley Adams, The Paper Kites.
Voice, harmonies, violon, lyrics.. Le aves me voiceless. Guess it's what we can call an artist. Cheers from France, come to play for us please ! (Thanks Kexp, top not sound, as always)
I love this version of Cigarettes! I think the solo acoustic live version is still my all time favorite, but this version with the whole band is amazing. Should get to bed, but will definitely listen to the rest of this tomorrow. NG deep dive begins.
I feel like we'll never get another Noah Gundersen album like ledges... Ever since he released twenty something it's like there's something missing, or there's something that doesn't belong, better said. He sounds like a full blown rock band, as opposed to these beautiful, raw, acoustic passages.
