Sandro Perri :: Soft Landing

Last year, Sandro Perri returned with In Another Life, his first proper long-player in the better part of a decade, and a self-proclaimed experiment in “infinite songwriting.” Now Perri has turned around with something of a companion piece: an extension of his immeasurable pop sensibilities in the form of an album entitled Soft Landing.

Sandro Perri :: Tiny Mirrors

Released last Fall, Sandro Perri’s LP, Tiny Mirrors, (amongst its other charms) boasts a lo-fi cover of Fred Neil’s “Everybody’s Talkin.” No stranger to interpretation, Perri’s rendering inhibits a mournful and folksy late-night quality, subtly accompanied by light percussion, dual harmonies and multiple, interweaving, acoustic guitars. Next to Harry Nilsson’s (definitive) cover, this might be my favorite version yet. Highly recommended.
