   關於 Jeff Merchant
  *
Jeff Merchant doesn't write cute, sweet, happy love songs. He writes compelling, thought-provoking songs about serious subjects in a catchy, melodic way - where the melodies, themselves, take off some of the edge. A purveyor of slickly arranged orchestral indie-pop with jazz and folk undertones, Merchant's previous "window rolled down" CD has been described as one remarkably smooth listen, carrying the listener effortlessly along from auspicious start to fine finish.

And now Jeff Merchant has emerged with a unique, fully produced 15 song recording called, "City Makes No Sound". It's a melodically lush, bright and dark, richly bold, eclectic pop feast that you won't easily forget.

With nearly a CD and a half of material fitting on one disc, the songs range in style and structure but share a common alternative pop aesthetic of melodically dense arrangements, musically intricate parts, loops and effects, thought provoking lyrics and smart production.

"City Makes No Sound" tells diverse stories of city life that are amusing, sad and uplifting, sometimes lonely, with both hope and despair - trying to get to the essence of things. The CD was recorded, mixed and mastered with a full spectrum of sound in mind – deep, full bass with bright harmonies and a rich, balanced center.

"a talented artist who works well in his realm" - Movement Magazine

"...a collection of dense, orchestrated, intricate 'pop' songs...he's managed to take what were already good songs and turn them into very special ones...this is the kind of intelligent grown up music that gives musicians a good name. " - Zeitgeist Magazine

Hi Jeff,
Take a look at my new video of The Writing on the Wall from my 2008 acoustic album, Beyond the Blues. Quote from the wall: The wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.
Thanks,
Steve
