The Merkin Dream. Immediately drawn to the sleeve of this CD I am. A woodland mountain scene with crimbo lights, a view I'd like from my wooden cabin in Alaska. If I had one. Isolationist moi? This is wistful acoustic pop & shimmering indie from a 3 piece with difficult names. 5 tracks under the heading 'Cottage' Taking a blatant cue from Radiohead on the opener without being whingy tossers from Exeter. So yeah, a REALLY good Radiohead soundalike, sad in a different way. Gets folkier later in a Kings Of Convenience type of way. Even bits of Cranebuilders in there on Trck 2. Yup. good stuff!This new collection of songs by The Merkin Dream is a lament over failed paintings, tragic love and a late night search for food. "Cottage" takes us from a hazy New York City subway to a crisp late summer evening on the beach by way of winding guitar and keyboard lines, layers of airy textures and beautifully honest vocals.
