Shout out: Why Write?
Why Write? is a new musical project of Danish singer/songwriter Jacob Faurholt, who’s resume includes an album with the now-disbanded Sweetie Pie Wilber, as well as two solo albums: 2007′s Hurrah Hurrah and 2009′s Are You In The Mood For Love?. His latest EP, apparently self-titled, is 5 songs of a kind of scruffy indie-pop somewhere between 80′s British Indie-Rock and modern Jonathan Richmond-idealizing Swedish indie-pop, characterized by Faurholt’s untrained vocals and enigmatic but homey lyrics. And yeah, it’s good stuff.
The EP was released on the Candian What A Mess Label last week and was mixed by KRAMER, the dude who mixed albums by Galaxie 500, Low and Daniel Johnston. Check out the video for the song “Burning Holes” below.
