The bandcamp may say by The Milkman's Union and though Jamison does do vocals for TMU and it was engineered and mixed by the drummer, Peter, this is all Henry Jamison.
It's cozy, raw, and very much an easy listen. And it's also free (this is, if you put the 0 in the Buy Now window. )
I have yet to see Henry Jamison or The Milkman's Union but they are definitely on my bands to see list (I actually have one of those here because I'm such a music nerd). I'm certainly hoping to see these guys soon enough if they keep doing what they're doing and not split or move away.
In regards to this release in particular, Sailor Boy has to be my favorite track. It sounds just like a rejected anthem from the original Wicker Man film (Not to say it could not fit in the Nic Cage version). The way he sings and strums just has that spring time/may day induction tone like Appendix Out (Alasdair Roberts) if I had to compare. Good stuff right here.
More similar acts/sounds: Aleric Nez, Good Kids Sprouting Horns, Mango Floss, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Jacob Augustine, Jeff Beam and overs.
Henry Jamison may only be a year or so in to the Portland Music scene since moving up here from Vermont but I conceder him and the rest of The Union very much a staple of the current music talent here in Portland and all over Maine.
