Kennedy (often seen slinging joe with Joe at nobrow coffee, or in his band Bluebird Radio) lays down some of the tightest vocal harmonies I’ve heard from a Salt Lake project. The lyrics are also of note and the recording itself, done by Kennedy, turned out great in a lo-fi way.

Kennedy (often seen slinging joe with Joe at nobrow coffee, or in his band Bluebird Radio) lays down some of the tightest vocal harmonies I’ve heard from a Salt Lake project. The lyrics are also of note and the recording itself, done by Kennedy, turned out great in a lo-fi way. “Captain Captain,” one of the best tracks on the release, is a haunting ode to a failing captain that Kennedy exhorts to let him/her “take the wheel,” in the first verse. It’s a song about taking control of a situation in ballad form that not many local artists can sustain for four-plus minutes—a good sentiment for someone who records his own work, and a mission accomplished for local singer-songwriters that I will try to give more of a chance to in the future.
