Banty Holler – Wired For Sound

Releasedate: 28-08-2019

Banty Holler makes Americana. Last year he released an EP and now returns with another EP called “Wired For Sound”.

Six tracks, of which only one comes close to three minutes. Banty does not seem to need much time to bring his work to you. As said recorded on one take. Well, that we can tell. The six songs seem to lay in one line, much alike and regardless the fact that they are quite short it annoyed us even before we were halfway. Feels much like a jam but not one that is too inspired. It is perhaps because the minimalistic approach is not opening up for much variation. The vocals are there to tell a story but are not giving much depth. It feels like one long braddle of words. Guitars are a bit more interesting to listen to. Skills are there but it simply does not warm us too much.
Most interesting track is “Wayfarin’ Stranger” which seem to have a bit more body. Compositionwise the best of the EP.

This release probably should not have landed on our doormat. There must be people out there who enjoy this, but it simply ain’t our cup of tea.
