Monday Music

Tonight, I was at The Burdock for a low-key show. Because of a schedule change, head-liner Raleigh went first. I was slightly disappointed with their set, if only because I enjoyed their oddly structured songs the last time, and I was hoping that the full band would play tonight. Their music sits on the edge of pop music with strange diversions.

L.T. Leif was more in the confessional songwriter mold. She calls her music drone folk and certainly on her album there's a lo-fi tech feel. With just a guitar tonight, it felt like sitting on the couch with a friend as they put their thoughts to lyrics. She added just enough flourishes to her playing to keep the songs from sounding too much alike.
