Jeff Martin - Still (Casino Gravity)
UK release date: 13 May 2002
Jeff Martin - Still

buy this title

With flowing beats and rhythmic guitar, Still is simple but efficiently produced, capturing the natural reverberation expertly. The soft flow of rhythm makes you drift to rolling landscapes of Dublin.

Martin's voice resonates and soothes with beautiful harmonies, creating a dream-like quality. Think Jimmy Page on slow Led Zeppelin moments.

Honest, emotive lyrics reflect sympathetic chords of experience that ring of experience common to us all.

Still has a laid back, almost sombre mood and each track has a unique feel.

The album's title track gives hint of a different musical direction - and where Martin may take future projects.

Still is full of personal rhetoric but the listener can relate to. An understated success it gets better and better with each listen. Reflective, it lilts with subtle acoustics and flows with a quiet energy. Jeff Martin has a unique contemporary style that comforts.
