Richard Buckner: Surrounded
Holly Gleason, Paste, 10 September 2013
CIRCULAR ACOUSTIC GUITAR NOTES shower down as Richard Buckner's voice, a tad quavering and common enough to seem to sing for us all, rises from the melody on 'Surrounded'. A Simon & Garfunkel-esque bit of vulnerability that suggests his torn and battered heart is still on his sleeve, the recording's opener makes angst a most alluring commodity.
