A songwriter who blends folk, jazz, and blues into quietly compelling records.
If you're new to his stuff, "For Beginners" and "Chinese Translation" give you a good sense of his style. They're the kind of songs that sound like they've been around for years.
Tracks like "Chinese Translation" show his knack for storytelling that pulls from old folk and blues without sounding like a museum piece. He's also worked on film music and with other artists, but his solo work stays grounded in that warm, slightly dusty guitar tone.
He started in the '90s with the experimental band Rodan and later played bass for Quasi. His own records began with 2002's "End of Amnesia," and he's kept putting out albums like "Post-War" and "More Rain" ever since.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
