Gregory Alan Isakov’s name sounds like an undiscovered Russian novelist and perhaps he is, but for now he’s an under-discovered singer-songwriter from Boulder, Co. His new album, his debut, That Sea, The Gambler was self-released this past May.
The songs below, and I expect all the songs on the new record, are shades of muted indie folk. There’s a gauzy layer of slight reverb that gives the songs below a hint of both mystery and maudlin sadness. Gregory’s voice reminds me of any number of singers from Denison Witmer to Luke Temple but that puts him in pretty good company.
