Bahamas - Lonely Loves
Album: Pink Strat [2009]

after making a name for himself as an indie rock sideman with feist, afie jurvanen strikes out on his own with "pink strat", the debut album from his solo project bahamas. with a sparse and contemplative blend of indie folk and alt-country, he opts to let his guitar and sleepy vocals do a lot of the heavy lifting, steering away from lush production in favour of a more intimate sound. this rawer sound, combined with his careful ear for melody and guitar abilities, helps set bahamas apart from the affable folk-pop of someone like jack johnson.
