Tim Hulsman – Dead Man’s Chest

Tim Hulsman – Dead Man’s Chest

Tim Hulsman’s Dead Man’s Garden is at once beautiful and rough. It is slow, gritty and sometimes sad, rolling along a line of strings.

The album’s 10 tracks wade in and keep to a constant tempo, threatening to drop and tickling the ears with a hint of something just underneath. They pull and push in infinitesimal changes, as natural as the tide and just as persistent.

The variety of stringed instruments from the roguish sounds of Hulsman’s slide guitar to the melancholy strains of the violin, layers depth and makes this album a study for the ears. (SP)
