In Case the Comet Comes

This robust album will keep listeners on their toes

     

Reed KD's sophomore effort shows that he's one of the most ecletic and adventuresome artists on the indie music scene today. Showing off multi-instrumentalist talents, "In Case the Comet Comes" delves into folk, bluegrass, ambient rock, country and even electronica with ear-pleasing, if sometimes uneven results. With introspective lyrics reminescent of Paul Simon, brash vocals that bring to mind Ben Folds and daring arrangements that fall just short of the brillance of Beirut, its clear that even at this early stage Reed KD deserves comparison to other indie rock innovators like Elliot Smith. If you like your albums a bit more genre-focused its worth giving his more traditional indie rock album, "The Ashes Bloom" a listen. Either way, Reed KD's ("KD" are the artist's middle and last initial) songs come from the heart and in this album he's made sure that there's at least one song for every type of musical enthusiast.
