Details:
The words "innovative" and "familiar" are not mutually exclusive when it comes to the music of Portland, Oregon-based Sweet City Slang. The diverse musical backgrounds of its four members meld together to create a unique musical stew, with the literate, evocative songwriting of Eric Tweed at its core.
With influences ranging from bluesmen Son House and Taj Mahal to modern pop artists like Ben Folds, Wilco, and Nickel Creek, Sweet City Slang''s sound at once challenges listeners with its diversity and puts them at ease with the familiar echoes of bygone eras. The sparse arrangements provide a perfect platform for Tweed''s blues-laced, chant-like vocal delivery.
"Somewhere Along the Way" is Sweet City Slang''s debut full-length album, consisting of 13 original songs written and refined over several years. It''s been a long time coming, and Sweet City Slang''s deliberation, patience, and dedication has paid off in an album that surpassed all their expectations - and will do the same for you.
