   About Argyle Johansen

Argyle Johansen
"(Argyle) Johansen’s startling sound bleeds across genre lines. His acoustic-grounded but electric tinged organica come across as the captain’s log of a musical time machine. Quirky alternative rock, classic gentle folk-pop, blues licks, tinges of coaxing soul, a dash of the rustic, singer-songwriter and more. “Candlestick” transcends time and style in a fusion of smoothly blended influences." -NeuFutur Magazine on "Candlestick"

More of an alter-ego than a fully functioning band at times, Argyle Johansen is solely the product of not being capable of working well/playing nice with the other kids.

Hey Argyle, thanx for asking to be my friend.
I enjoyed listening to your songs.
You're very unique, interesting, soulful,
in a way I've never heard before.
I hope everyone sees your music that way too.
Peace and love,
Uri
