Tomorrow, Hollywood Records will release Full Moon Cigarette by Gran Bel Fisher, a 24-year old hailing from rural Ohio. Recorded in California’s Sunset Sound, the album opens with melodic piano, reminiscent of a George Winston record, and then ascends into the nicely layered title track, Full Moon Cigarrete.
Reminding me a little of Oasis, Gran Bel Fisher’s music is beautifully structured and somehow grand. The second track, Far Cry, opens with acoustic guitar and slowly ascends to the point of crescendo, where it goes quiet instead and begins the building process a second time.
GBF mixes relaxed, melodic tunes like Edible and Crash and Burn with faster, rockier songs like Moment. Comfortably crooning or belting it out, Fisher’s vocals are spot on and surrounded by extremely tight instrumentation. Fisher has musical chops well past his years, and Full Moon Cigarette puts them on full display. Rural Ohio did very well.
