Trent Dabb - Quite Often

Like Duncan Sheik(or even John Mayer), Dabbs creates a sound that mixes his Southern-gothic roots and folk style with summery pop and modern rock. "The ten songs on Quite Often range from heartbreaking rainy day reflections ("Worst Fears", "January Lights") to sunny, uplifting power-pop ("It`s Not Like That"). He balances out the full sonic force of songs like "TV Jealousy" with tracks like "On Heavy", a dreamy acoustic number that displays his subtle picking ability."-MOM. "Forget about that title, because a debut CD this good does not come along often at all.. Dabbs is that rare artist who understands that less is often more. On almost every song, from Abigail to Quite Often to the likely radio hit January Lights, Dabbs resists the urge to fill every silence with sound, and consequently gives his music a unique purity. Even the electric songs manage to have a warm, acoustic feel. Couple that with a voice that seems to float above the rolling landscape of his songs, and you have a striking example of the power of simplicity."-NashvilleRage.
