Following a path recently trodden by the likes of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails, Middlesborough based singer-songwriter Andy Mitchell is making his debut album, Less Talk, More Static, available as a free download via his Myspace page.The nine track album starts with hints of almost industrial sounding synths and drums but by the standout track The End Begins these have given way to a more pleasing acoustic guitar based sound. All of this is topped off with Andy's mid-Atlantic drawl, giving rise to what could be the sort of desolate Americana conjured up by bands such as Wilco and Scenic. Given that Andy claims his influences as drifting through deserted early morning city streets and space, and his musical references as Ok Computer, The Joshua Tree and Bruce Springsteen's (in my view, masterpiece) Nebraska, this doesn't seem too surprising.
Andy also feels that the distribution of free music is the future industry, with bands and artists making money from other areas such as movies and it will be interesting to see where his undoubted talent takes him. In the meantime this is a more than accomplished debut and I'd certainly urge you to have a listen.
