These one man, record all the tracks at home bands have really got it going on.
Throw Me The Statue is one of them.
Hailing from Seattle, the land of musical ingenuity and creation, comes Throw Me The Statue: the project of Scott Reitherman. His newly released album Moonbeams appeals to people who listen to all different genres. (Well, maybe not reggaeton, but, oh well). Some of the songs are upbeat and pop-y, some are reflective and are on the slow side. Some contain intricate rhythms capped with exciting lyrics, while some are more mellow but continue to emphasize the lyrics. Reitherman's voice isn't horribly overpowering, but still sounds sweet and smooth over his generally jovial tracks. The songs continuously get more complex, and add exciting counter melodies, and various instruments on top of the basic tracks laid down. It's definitely worth listening to.
Throw Me The Statue is signed to Baskerville Hill Records, which is also home to Black Bear and Husbands, love your wives. Baskerville Hill is based in Seattle, a fertile ground for all small record labels, but by signing Throw Me the Statue, they're definitely ahead of the curve.
Go ahead: Give it a listen.
