Ticket Giveaway: Chris Garneau's CD Release Party TONIGHT
Tonight at Le Poisson Rouge, Chris Garneau celebrates the release of his highly anticipated sophomore album, El Radio-- and we've got a pair of tickets for one lucky reader to join in the fun!
Much like Michigan has Sufjan Stevens, Brooklyn's Garneau holds up his melodic quirkiness like a flag against a windy sea current. His trembling heartfelt lyrics had me at 2007's Music for Tourists. Some of the gloom from the previous album has lifted, and been replaced with a sort of playfulness. The seamless transition of these two sounds is best showcased between the meloncholy Cat Power-esque piano of "Hands on the Radio" to the sweeping horns and marching drums on "No More Pirates". Rarely do you see this kind of talent have fun with their work, and you can feel the sentiment in the tapping of your own toes-- or in the obsessive repeat cycle I currently have ballad "Hometown Girls" in.
Navigate your way to our Facebook page and comment on the contest thread for your chance to score a pair of tickets to the show tonight. And if you see Chris, be sure to thank him for bringing forth some honest melodies for us to set our heart's ticking to.
Winner announced at 4pm, so hurry up and get some! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
