New World Worder

his voice sounds like matt Johnson of 'the the'. <sigh> well… I picked this up hoping it was the Stephen Smith who makes glass marimbas, Aeolian harps and composed crop circle music but no. This is a young guy with a guitar and a lot to say about politics. Very KPFA. mostly speak-singing w/solo guitar.
1. spoken rap w/acoustic guitar. We the people are revolting.
2.like #1 but shorter 3.like #2
4.interesting guitar work. repetition in vocals vaguely hypnotic
5.reworking of that poem "why is your sword so red with blood?" around a school shooting. (It's imperialism's fault, and dad's fault cuz he owns a gun)
+6.yay! fiddling! no belabored politics! no vocals at all!!!
7. noooooooooooooo. too , oh, yucky.
+8. simple electric guitar, good and energetic, he sounds happy.
9. I'm everyman, don't pigeonhole me, because I am everyman. nice conceit.
+10.melodic, real singing. ordinary folk song. politics slightly less obvious.
11. sounds important but I don't get it.
12.pretty and inoffensive. sounds more like the the than anything else.
+13.good work song strange production makes this artier than intended
