Weikie – raise our sunken ship

as you know, I constantly buy music and I recently found bandcamp, to be a real pleasure to be in personal touch with the artists. I also, after years of glorification, realized, that musicians are human… what a revelation, huh?!

 

anyway, today, I had this in my mail

 

what is that? That is a CD. It was sealed with wax, signed and it is numbered since it a limited press. (do you say it like that in English?) at the bottom, there are rose petals and I can tell you, I never had a CD, that was an experience for every sense 🙂

It was, what made me smile brightly today and I listened to it up and down and from left to right today.

Favorite songs are:

‘raise our sunken ship’

‘I am a tin man’

‘cadasil’

‘rope’

 

though, honestly, every song is unique, special and a masterpiece in its own right. I really was positively surprised. (I only knew ‘rope’ and ‘I am a tin man’ before I bought it)

The voice is somewhat unique too, though I read somewhere, that Weikie (why-key) sounds like Tracy Chapman… um sorry… I can’t hear it.

The instruments and the orchestration of the songs is refreshing… I never knew a Banjo could sound good in a non-Western-movie style. Really like it.

 

and here is the opening song of this album:

 

 

oh, and if you ever buy this, be aware, there is a hidden track… but ssh… you haven’t heard that from me…

 

again something for my collection, that I definitely don’t regret buying and how it was delivered, raised a bar… I only accept personally signed CDs, numbered and with rose petals in the future… just kidding… I wouldn’t buy anything anymore with those expectations…

 

Thank you Adam ‘Weikie’ Weikert. It is a pleasure listening to you.
