Elliot Smith, this album is for you.
NYC CRASHING IN Review:Pantographs:State Land: This is the sophomore album from the Pantographs. Alec Stephen heads this band with Gwynne Duncan and Liz Pierson. Alec sings in the vain of a happy go lucky Irish folk gypsy sucking on some good ole Irish whiskey and singing his lullabies. His songs take the subject matters about life''s day-to-day duties ("Three Doors Down"), happy times ("Perfect Picture"), troubled souls ("Lee"), and love ("Wish I Knew"). It sounds like Alec has had a good life and will continue to do so take a listen and discover how music is better than any book that you''ll ever read.
"Alec Stephen''s second LP brings you to unexpected heights of virtue within sound and color leaving you perhaps cheated but happy !"
