Jay Brannan - “goddamned” - Buy It

text: ari sommer / photos: nicolas moore

Don’t dismiss Brannan for his honeyed larynx! With excellent lyricism and composition slightly cheapened by a bedroom voice, Brannan flirts with being passed over. DON’T PASS HIM OVER. His probing lyrics could fill a volume of ostensibly comedic verse, surprising readers every third line with his poignance and depth.

MP3 download available on Jay Brannan - Goddamned (Bonus Track Version)

Reminds us of: John Mayer (without giving us the “Let’s go back to your dorm and make out” heebie-jeebies) | James Taylor | Kate Nash | Stan Rodgers, had he not been a bass. Or Canadian.

love that melophobe has more “couples” reviewers, and more “Ian/Ion/Ian/Iain” than the average site…

Kelli Shaefer’s songs get stuck in my head non-stop. Every other day I find myself waking up with one in there. And that’s a good thing, she’s a talent!
