John Joseph Brill, "All Eyes"
It's been interesting watching the evolution of John Joseph Brill's music over the past three years (and also getting to see him in concert twice over that time). He started off as a gravel-voiced indie-folk artist with bleak lyrics. But now he's transitioned to a more electronic sound, one that reminds me a lot of classic Peter Murphy singles (although there's also a touch of more modern groups like Editors, Interpol, and White Lies). It's a big shift, but the synth-heavy production pairs brilliantly with his gravelly voice and dark lyrics.
