Native Floridian singer-songwriter John Vanderslice (now based in California), has chased his latest LP, Romanian Names, with a lovely (and $FREE.99) six song EP entitled Green Grow The Rushes. Since starting his solo career about eleven years ago, Mr. Vanderslice has consistently carved out expertly crafted, somewhat “lo-fi” tunes that tend to be characterized lyrically by seemingly raw honesty and strong narratives. See in particular, 2005’s dazzling Pixel Revolt (video for single “Dance Dance Revolution” below) and the 2007 follow up Emerald City, both somewhat inspired by the artist’s reaction to 9/11, the 2000 election, and the war on terror.
