Search - Jeff London :: Bane of Progress

"Jeff London excels in crafting just the kind of achingly honest folk-tinged songwriting that is capable of breaking down unconscious barriers ... Music has always served the function of helping its performers heal themselves, and London may just help me balance the ugly memories associated with his namesake with far more positive associations." --DELUSIONS OF ADEQUACY A folk triumph years in the making, The Bane of Progress is a quiet, reflective, stirring album with all the right touches. Bolstered by a cast of ringers including members of The Decemberists and Norfolk & Western, these smoldering, literate ballads are evocative--human, forlorn, and searching are all apt descriptions. But there's a silver lining to these cloudy songs, and Jeff London charms listeners with his classic melodies and earnest tenor.
