Diggin up another gem and dusting off the earphones, I remember a lesser known artist that came to light with the help of Jenna Fischer, or better known as the reserved Pam from NBC's The Office? Apparently a big fan of Wisely, Fischer agreed to be in a video for his first bigger release, "Through Any Window."
Singing in a somewhat despondent tone as if here were in a permanent lull, Wisely gives us simply naked songs almost with comparisons to Elliot Smith or Nick Drake. Keep in mind I said "almost." Oddly enough, as you listen to more Wisely, you quickly dismiss any mysterious sorrow that accompanies any mention of Drake and Smith with his happier and poppier songs more along the lines of Train. Anywhoo...nothing HUGE about Wisely yet...but definitely worth a quick check for the needed pause in your busy Holiday shopping filled day. Wisely's self-titled albums has been out for some time now from Oglio Records...enjoy!
Howdy! Thanks for visiting this soapbox of mine, produced from the fresh air of the Boulder valley in Colorado. If you have some general comments or maybe want to stand on your own soapbox, feel free to email at bodie_johnson at yahoo.com or leave a comment.
Let's keep the goal in mind here too. I work in the music industry while living in an amazing town offering me an abundance of recreational opportunities. I aim to introduce people to music and artists in hopes that they attend shows, purchase albums and spread the gospel...thus improving my profession and the industry as a whole. If you are an artist, a manager, and/or a label and prefer I remove a song posted here, simply let me know and I'll remove your art.
