THE GOOD GRACES
Drawing from a variety of influences such as Yo La Tengo, Mountain Goats, Rilo Kiley, and the Sarah and K Records catalogs, Drawn to You blends a 90s alt rock sensibility with singer-songwriter introspection and folk simplicity. Hardly an acoustic record, co-producers/engineers Jay Manley (Velvet, Hindugrass) and Brian Slusher (Slushco, What Happened to Your Fire, Tiger?) contributed lots of electric guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion, and other odds and ends, and live bandmate John McNicholas added electric guitar and bass on several songs. The resulting 11-song collection is remarkably catchy and honest, with twists and turns that shouldn’t work, but somehow do. With Kim’s crystal-clear, straightforward vocal style tying everything together, she manages to even make a cover of David + David’s 80s hit “Welcome to the Boomtown” fit right in among her own “three chords and the truth”-style indie folk ballads.
