Nesey Gallons on Phoning It In

The quietly unsung (and quietly sung, for that matter) Nesey Gallons phones it in from Athens, GA. While he's been a long-time Elephant 6 collaborator- most prominently with the Music Tapes and Circulatory System- Nesey's own music has only recently become more widely available than self-released CD-R's, with Cloud Recordings' reissue of the superb 'Eyes & Eyes & Eyes Ago.'

There's very little info regarding Nesey online, but I'm surprised that no one's compared him to Jeff Mangum. Maybe it's some kind of jinx. Not that Nesey is at all derivative, mind you, but rather his music hits you (and it does, hard) a lot like Neutral Milk Hotel's, though maybe with more of an emphasis on love than death. There's a kindred tenderness and vulnerability, a similar lens of nostalgia and melancholy, and joy, too. It's rather incredible, each song becoming a point in a constellation in a consistent, self-contained musical universe.

But anyway, not to over-intellectualize a gut reaction. The most important thing is that the songs sound amazing, especially 'Who', played on Will Cullen Hart's organ. Enjoy.

So far the host has been pretty tolerable, but I think Nesey is just acting like he isn't cool or something, which creates the tension. Knowing Nesey from the forums, I kind of feel sympathy for the host.

I feel like cutting out the chatter, though, and splitting the songs into tracks. I'll upload when I'm done.
