music (for robots): "Michah P. Hinson is a singer-songwriter from Texas whose songs are warm and lived-in but don't sound overly familiar. They shake, wobble and damn near fall apart under their own weight, and this weathered quality isn't entirely unearned - Hinson was broke, served jail time and fought drug addiction before he was 20.
His second album, Micah P. Hinson and the Gospel and Progress, came out in April on Sketchbook Records, and it's a stunner. Musically equal parts Badly Drawn Boy, Clem Snide and Iron & Wine, the record ranges in style from intimate heartbreakers to hopeful pop. Sharing some of the vocal tics of Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock, Hinson sings his tunes beautifully, and the overall result sounds like something from another time.
The disc's highlight is
Micah P. Hinson - Don't You (Parts 1 & 2)
Part 1 is the heartbreaker, Part 2 is the hope."
