Some great new tunes out of Austin, TX from Some Say Leland. The full length album from Dan Grissom and crew features a plethora of instruments (11 band members!) to tell their folk tales of sadness. Doses of Okerrvil River mixed with jazzy, Americana roots music await. The music seems so anachronistic to our time that a single listen sprouts memories of yesteryear. Fifty Miles into the Main was printed with a “limited first edition of 400 that are in handmade packaging featuring silkscreen printing and small handmade lyric booklets. The packaging was printed and assembled by Dan Grissom and Kyley Cantwell, which would make a great addition to any collection if there are any left. Very beautiful music indeed. Patience is required with this album, no instant gratification here.
