in winter..
.. it's like drinking black coffee trying to stay warm and keeping the cold out. the rain falls, the wind blows. some of you even get to see snow.in autumn..
.. it's a backyard in the suburbs, and hundreds leaves covering the green grass.in summer..
.. it's a night-time thing. out on the balcony (porch) with some beers and your friends.in spring..
.. it's the hope for a brighter day.
Sam Shinazzi
Then I Held My Breath

Australian singer and songwriter Sam Shinazzi might be an untested name in this neck of the woods, but his music rings true and clear with the familiar. Fans of decent REM- influenced power pop should take note that there’s a new guy in town and he’s damned good. Shinazzi has been in finest worksong mode since 2001, delivering records of increasing worth while working up an appetite for a live audience through support slots with the likes of Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Evan Dando, The Pernice Brothers and Josh Rouse. Such company seems to have rubbed off even further on Shinazzi’s output, which (early REM nods notwithstanding) appeals through its mellow poignancy and unerring sense of melody. One to investigate further, for sure.
