If somebody writes songs that stick in the mind, and it's moody fare, and there's something about the voice and the arrangements that put it above the rest, then I'm there. That describes Dylan LeBlanc and his new album, Cast the Same Old Shadow (Rough Trade). I wont say Tim Buckley is what he sounds like, but he does have that upper range, his lyrics have something to them and he plays a kind of folkish guitar in accompaniment.
It has a slight country feel to it, especially when the petal steel is going, but it's more in alt rock territory with its quirkiness and edge.
Songs are what it's about. Songs about dreams, stories, movies for the ear and imagination....
