Reviewed! Brandon Saller - 1983 EP
Brandon Saller
1983 EP
From Atreyu to Hell or Highwater to now setting out on
his own, the sonic evolution of Brandon Saller continues with the 1983 EP, his sparkling, endearing solo
debut, and it doesn’t take long to realize that this EP is the logical
progression to Saller’s aural journey, a next step you’ll surely want to tag
along for. Sallers’ voice resonates with aplomb, emoting an air of openness as
he belts out the heartfelt words that fill the liner notes of 1983. Saller is the pure driving force
behind this EP, one that blends the purest form of indie, highlighted by
unadulterated Americana, a front porch feel sure to spur more than one
sing-a-long session (“This Old Town”), while showcasing bouts of immaculate
folksy storytelling (“Lonely In Love”) via some emotionally stirring stanzas
(“Little One”). Rest assured, this is not Atreyu, nor is this Hell or
Highwater, this is Brandon Saller, with guitar and hat in hand and heart firmly
on sleeve, plain and simple, nothing more, nothing less.
