Seattle's Danny Rowland was the songwriter and lead guitarist of our beloved (by us) band Seapony. That project may be retired to a watery pasture, but Danny now helms the similarly nautically-themed band
Research Vessel. Danny's sweet spot is jangling guitar pop with quiet vocals and an insistent beat. On the new EP,
Part of the Charm, the craftsmanship is evident in the songwriting and arrangements. The vibe is sunny and relaxed, the lyrics evocative rather than narrative. It is only five tracks, but it is a charming set of songs that you can listen to over and over. And if you like it, you can consider the 2024 and 2025 EPs from
Research Vessel which also are available via Bandcamp.
