Hemlock Tavern says…

Olympia's Desolation Wilderness once titled an EP In Love with Anything. The title's an appropriate description of how you might feel after listening to Nicolaas Zwart's bedroom doo-wop, as Zwart's reverb-laced mix of glockenspiel, electric guitar, vibraphone, and tape delay form a warm cocoon around his lovelorn voice. (Desolation Wilderness also bring to mind a gauzier Beat Happening, making their recent signing to K Records a fitting development.) Local openers Family Trea build their impressionistic folk from pristine strands of cello and acoustic guitar. Fans of early Van Morrison, Nick Drake, and Mazzy Star will find much to love in the group's intimate orchestrations.
