Ryan Christopher Parks – Last Pass Through Billy Goat Acres
Very subtle stuff, from that pastoral opening to the jazz leaning indie pop vocals. There is tender scenery of some repute getting down and while I’d often pair that kind of approach with middle of the road fare Ryan Christopher Parks has a giddy-up manner that means the bright-eyed effects hardly flag. There are briefs noodle asides that means we can take gentle breathers before the antidote to all that simplistic exhale arrives in the form of a instrumental that ups the ante to previously unheard degrees. Come the end it was a celebration of near progressive rock standards and that satisfied feeling was at last the dominant one. KH
