Shelley Short - Pacific City (2017)

 


GENRE : alternative country, folk
RECORD LABEL : Mississippi Records

This was one of these albums that only took the first few seconds of the opening song to convince me to buy it. The album consists of a bunch of gentle laid-back country songs that are simultaneously playful and sad. The music is very intimate and acoustic-based, centered around guitars and pianos, but it's cleverly broken up with a couple of atmospheric ambient pieces, so it never gets dull or repetitive.
Though there's obviously great musicianship on the album, Shelley's beautiful voice is undoubtedly the selling point for me. It's one of these albums that just makes me want to get in my car and head to the beach and stare at the sea for a while. A lovely album for lazy sunny days. Mississippi Records are doing God's work.
