PRESS:

"True, gripping melodies—ones that stand up to repeated listening. - Entertainment Weekly

"Puts forth fragile, folky songs that at times evoke elements of Neil Young. (Not all evokers of Neil Young are worth spending time with, but this act is.)" - USA TODAY

"Shearer sings in metaphor and poetry." - Seattle Weekly

"My early contender for local album of the year, "La Lamentor' is a disc to cherish" - The Oregonian

"Damn is it beautiful" - Willamette Week

"The members of Weinland use their instruments like vanishing resources: cautiously. The Portland five-piece's frontman, Adam Shearer, channels Elliot Smith's frail whisper — and like Smith's, his voice can stand steadfastly alone over a single guitar or piano note. Sometimes, however, the band gorges ..o, upright bass, banjo, and organ, with Shearer's voice fading in and out as simply another instrument in the pack. Weinland picks from folk, rock, and everything in between, but at its core, the group creates classic Americana, like Neil Young's quieter moments, or more recently, M. Ward." - SF Guardian

"La Lamentor is one of those albums that is beautifully arranged and produced, leaving the songs to sidle up next to the listener like long lost friends." - Americana UK

"Five beardos who create some of the finest brooding folk rock in [Portland]" - Harp Magazine

"An amazing & intimate collection of hauntingly beautiful folk lullabies—the kind that are so good they give you goose bumps." - The Portland Mercury

So, last night was amazing.

I'm incredibly happy that I was able to come see you all! And that I got to fall in love with music all over again.

(Sorry if I talked a lot/said weird stuff.. I'd like to give a witty reason why, but I'd be fibbing)

All in all, you totally made my week! I hope to come see you in Portland. Super awesome to the max.

So, here's my official "thanks for the add" note...

People often tell me they can hear how much I've listened to Neil Young in my singing, though frankly I can't tell it. Maybe it's just in the style. But I understand why you get so many Neil comparisons, Adam: you sound like you literally stole his voice, then polished it up a little and made it more melodious. And it works. That said, comparison is tried and trite (I think), and so I'll sail quickly through the other musicians/bands that Weinland reminds me of -- Ben Gibbard, Iron & Wine, J. Tillman -- towards the island of saying something substantial.

The music is fine, the lyrics are unique and mystifying, and the album art puts me in mind of 19th century dagguerotypes ... really, I'm sitting here wondering why oh why haven't I heard of y'all before?!

Well, I'm gladly I've heard y'all now. And I'm looking forward to seeing Weinland live, so I hope that day is coming soon. Keep in touch, and keep making music! Oh, and thanks for the add.
