Andrew Phillip Tipton is an anti-folk artist of the finest caliber. His previous albums combine the strangeness of Daniel Johnston with the occasional tunefulness of Jonathan Richman. It’s an odd mixture and now that the new record is a nautical concept record of lofi sea shanties it only gets weirder. Admiral of the Narrow Sea is the name of this new project.
I believe music blogs should be the point of entry for music like this and not a place where remixers, big releases, and pr heavy bands constantly overwhelm the aggregators like Elbo.ws and Hype shutting out any truly new and unusual music.
“Looking For You” has all the charm you’d expect from a song recorded entirely in Andrew’s bedroom on Ukelele and what sounds like toy instruments.
