#866 David Gray – White Ladder

Posted on by anoceanroars

I have heard of David Gray, but I do not think I have ever heard his music. In the description it calls him a folk singer so that might be why I have not listened to him. He released his fourth album White Ladder in 1998. It is described as folktronica. I am curious how that will sound.

I am pleasantly surprised by this album. I would not say that Gray has great vocals, but he does put all the elements together to make a surprising journey for the listener.

My favourite songs are “Please Forgive Me“, “Babylon”, “Silver Lining”, “Sail Away”, “This Year’s Love” and I think i like “Say Hello Wave Goodbye” the best.

I am a little sad that I never listened to this album before now. It is really good, even his “bad” songs are not that bad. I like that he combines electronic with folk music. It makes it a bit depressing. 8/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
