ALBUM REVIEW :: Brendan Mott - "Nostalghia"
Brendan Mott - “Nostalghia”
Self-released by artist on January 17th, 2020.
“On his 6th release “Nostalghia”, Kansas native Brendan Mott needs only his guitar and voice to examine the sensibilities of generational Midwestern life with deft new sonic direction and an often stark, yet translucently honest maturity. Both sentiments are married together by a newfound sense of self and undoubtedly years of formulative introspection, uplifted by an ever-advancing technical prowess realized in Mott’s guitarmanship. His approach walks you through a well-trodden forest path towards the derelict wooden gazebo of your hometown park, where you rest as the soft rain gently extinguishes the last Camel in your pack, but you didn’t mind since you were quitting anyways.
Nostalghia‘s imagery is hauntingly affecting, clever and often all-too familiar; an album succinctly emblematic of the Midwestern condition in a way only idealized Kansas folk can relay.”
