New David Vandervelde - “Someone Like You”

Here’s a great post:

The young Nashville-via-Brooklyn-via-Chicago-via-Michigan man has returned with a second album. David Vandervelde’s debut landed him on our list of ones to watch, squarely on the back of the Bolan/Bowie revivalism of “Nothin’ No.” This time out it sounds like he’s still enamored with the ’70s, and again he’s worked with ex-Wilco bro Jay Bennett. “Someone Like You”’s lyrics still sound like a young guy trying to play the part, with references to rock & roll (”what have you done”), guns, and cocaine, but the sounds are still impressively authentic, all sustained organs and warm AM golden melodies, and just maybe a little of his new home in Nashville is making its way in via an earthy, back porch shuffle.

You can see the rest here.
