Details:
‘Road on the Left’ is a departure from Adrian’s prior acoustically-focused solo work. The album features Jean Finstad on upright bass, Mark Williams on lead guitar, Tommy Lepson on organ, Jon Ozment on piano, and Mike Smirnoff on percussion. Self Produced at Kensington, MD’s Blue House studios, the EP is a culmination of years of hard work in part of Adrian and his backing musicians.
Adrian writes deeply personal songs, striking vignettes of love, heartbreak, and alcohol-fueled indiscretions and recriminations. His lyrically and emotionally dense compositions draw comparisons to fellow Midwesterner Craig Finn of The Hold Steady. The title track of the EP is a tequila-fueled rocker meditating on failed relationships, while “Catch Up” is a sweet piano-driven ballad in the vein of Randy Newman that reflects on the nature of faith and love.
"Known for his innovative guitar playing, the DC-based singer songwriter plays his catchy, clever pop tunes." ~Washington Post''s Going Out Guide
"His songs and vocal stylings instantly reminded me of a young Daniel Johnston covering Vic Chestnutt compositions." ~https://www.tradebit.com
"The Differents bring the noise with guitarist Andy Prezkop (furious with the licks and the wah peddle). Their singer reminds us of Modest Mouse''s Isaac Brock" ~https://www.tradebit.com
