BLANKET
Nice (Hush)

This is a tricky one to write about, just because all I can think when I listen to this is I like this! I like this guy! I don't know him, but if he makes music like this, he must be O.K. (This philosophy of equating nice music with nice people must be why so much of my adolescence can only be regurgitated under hypnosis.) Singer-songwriter Chad Crouch dances with genre, moving effortlessly from pop to accordion-tinted (accordion provided by Miss Murgatroid) bossa nova and jazz, making for some awfully sweet folksy, borderline-acoustic guitar and piano songs that invoke images of sunny drunk days on the beach, lazy afternoons, and not growing up.
