Search - Guggenheim Grotto :: Waltzing Alone

... a neverland for no one else.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The elaborate liner notes contain (typically) the lyrics and (not so typically) a song-by-song band commentary. The band also includes a blog excerpt in which contributors wiegh in on the loss of the album "experience" in this age of digital downloads. Guggenheim Grotto counters with one of the classiest CD packages I've seen, right down to the textured and bound, red-and-silver CD booklet case. This coffeetable CD doesn't disappoint musically, either. GG's acoustic approach melds subtle harmonies, delicate fingerplay, and rich layering, evincing influences of Simon & Garfunkel, the Kings of Convenience, Fleetwood Mac, and, yes, Nick Drake. Reviewed elsewhere as one of the most beautiful albums of 2007, Waltzing Alone will whisk you away to a neverland for no one else."
