MP3 David Wax Museum - I Turned Off Thinking About
10 MP3 Songs
FOLK: Modern Folk, ROCK: Americana
Details:
The David Wax Museum''s new album features an innovative blend of Americana folk and traditional Mexican son. Recorded in David Wax''s hometown of Columbia, Missouri, with his long-time musical collaborators, I Turned Off Thinking About draws inspiration from the likes of Wilco, Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, Iron & Wine, Lyle Lovett, and The Band.
David Wax is not your ordinary singer-songwriter. He spent the first two years of college on a cattle ranch in California before transferring to Harvard, where he studied poetry and Latin American history. He recently returned from a year in Mexico learning rural folk music. The new instruments and rhythms he brought back can be heard in two of the album''s most distinctive tracks. "The Great Unawakening" showcases the jarana jarocha and is based on a traditional son jarocho song from southern Veracruz. The unique rhythm of son huasteco drives "There Was a Bridge," which David plays on the jarana huasteca. His multi-instrumentalist cousin Jordan performs the genre''s characteristic violin flourishes.
The David Wax Museum now calls Boston its home and is quickly making a name for itself as an up-and-coming band.
People who are interested in Wilco The Band Iron & Wine should consider this download.
