Do I Want to Hear More? (Noah Kahan)

 Artist: Noah Kahan

Album: Stick Season

It's weird- I don't dislike Kahan's album. I bet he'd be great live, but there's a sameness and a blandness to his music. He's kind of Mumford and Sons-ish, kind of the 2010's folkie, kind of Don McLean. If I wanted to hear more, there's a whole slew of bonus tracks. As of now, though, I'm not eager to hear too much more.

Debut Album: The National, 2001

How would I describe it? 

Pretty earnest stuff with good instrumentals. "Theory of the Crows" is kind of unbearable. Just feels kind of mopey. 

Verdict: Not really enough here to make me want to listen to another record.
