song of the day: june 26/2011

Lior - Grey Ocean
Album: Autumn Flow [2006]

australia-based singer/songwriter lior released his first album, "autumn flow", in 2005. nominated for a handful of awards, as well being a voracious seller, lior's debut earned him a coveted spot in the 2005 womad festival, with which he visited the UK, singapore, and korea. hints of david gray and jeff buckley can be heard on this track, the last song on the album. the rolling drum beat, finger-picked guitar, and reverb-drenched vocals highlight the beginning of the song as it fades in like a fog. a murky atmosphere is created by lior's beautiful voice and dark, brooding lyrics. the israeli-born artist released his second album, "doorways of my mind" in 2006 which led to television spots and more critical acclaim. having said that, i'm having a hard time finding out much more information on him! nevertheless, a song worth downloading and listening to.
