Singer-songwriter Nick Waterhouse, who impressed with his 2012 debut Time’s All Gone release LP Holly, due out in March of 2014. The album, produced by Waterhouse and Kevin Augunas (Cold War Kids) is a cohesive selection of work that, presented together, tells a story.
“Thematically this record feels more like a novella, or poem with sections, or even a film, than a collection of songs,” said Waterhouse of the album. “It is a work of fiction with a protagonist, but also a floating omniscient narrator, and fragments of conversation from other characters.”
Waterhouse’s voice is ripped from the mid-’50s, with a slight reverb referencing the single-microphone recording era. As with so many classics of that era, he caps the song off with a werewolf howl followed by an aggressive organ solo, suggesting that not all games are fun and games.
