“Brooklyn Dark Folk & Bedroom Epic Double Release Show”:
J. Allen “Wonder City” & Patrick Crowson “A Mile Past The Dead End”
Special Guest Performance by FIRST CLASS and COACH
Gold Flake Paint, UK: “We all know the term singer-songwriter is dead. Dragged into the depths of musical hell by Blunt, Gray et al. to the point where the simple term for someone playing a guitar and singing by themselves has become a genre to sprint away from (…) But hang on, this track IS good – and weren’t Dylan and Springsteen just guys with guitars? And Strummer and Westerberg and Sam Beam and Elliott Smith and, and, and…WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?! Hailing from New York, J. Allen describes himself as a folk singer/songwriter but any notion of self-whimsy and paint-by-numbers bullshit is quickly disposed of thanks to some gorgeous melodies and cracked vocals, all shrouded under layers of darkening ambience.” http://www.goldflakepaint.co.uk/introducing-j-allen/
