Mountains in Hurricanes
This is a very good debut by a song writer of great, great potential.
The title track is, by far, the best of the three songs included here, showcasing what seem to be key strengths for this artist --- intelligent lyrics, clear, strong arrangements, structural intelligence, and a warm voice that pleases on many levels with its suppleness and precision.
Where there are missteps, they are forgivable and interesting, save in the case of the remix of the title track. The best one can say of the remix is that it is unnecessary, as it adds nothing of interest to the original version.
That said of the remix, it would be interesting to see what this artist might do with some elements of electronica a la early Beth Orton.
I recommend Hurricanes and Mountains with 4/5 stars. It will be well worth your time, and well worth the minimal expense.
