kelley stoltz

Acoustic guitars, synthesisers, drum machines & reliably strong melodies abound - the San Franciscan’s beat goes on & we’re still very happily nodding along with him.

A couple of years ago we worked with this legendary indie stalwart on his splendid ‘Ah! (etc)’ & even though we imagined it would be a very nice edition for fans rather than an opportunity for new discovery, we were astonished & overjoyed by how many people listened to Kelley for the first time through that record & fell in love instantly. For the (currently) uninitiated, Stoltz writes timeless songs - the kind that might've appeared on the fringes of the late 60s or mid 80s. Here, with his 17^th album, he proves himself to be unshakeable & it seems that no matter which of his many styles he chooses, ‘The Stylist’ is yet another platter of tuneful delights in the impressive catalogue of one of the great songwriters of our time.
