Songwriter, pop singer, alt-rock indie artist, whatever you call him, Andrew McMahon has written and performed some of the best music from the last decade or more. Starting with his “punk band” Something Corporate, through the brilliance of his next project Jack’s Mannequin, into his solo material as Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness, he continues to write intelligence and emotional songs with irresistible hooks. And he’s a great live performer too.
Amazon calls his latest effort “a striking collection of wistful and biting tunes that reflect the past and our chaotic present.” He has a knack for writing about relationships, the world in general, and the gray areas between the two.
Amoeba Music adds “Upside Down Flowers is the latest from his Andrew McMahon In the Wilderness project and it’s an intimate, well-crafted collection of songs, filled with the bravado of youth (“Teenage Rockstars”) and the hopefulness of rock ’n’ roll dreamers (“Ohio”). The songs are eclectic and eminently listenable. The melodies are introspective but bordering on anthemic with lyrics that are smart and sensitive. A must-have for fans that’s sure to win over listeners who appreciate thoughtful indie pop.”
He’s a major talent, buy the album now, you won’t be sorry.
