Kindlewood
/Talent and creativity live all around us. I was reminded of this when a friend of mine and his band played at the Black Cat in Washington D.C. My friend's name is Galen Smith and the band is Kindlewood.
I met Galen not all that long ago. We are work colleagues by day. I knew from work that Galen was a member of Kindlewood. That was the extent of my knowledge.
That all changed, though. I discovered that Galen, along with Kelci Smith and Jamison Lyman, have created a unique and wonderful sound with Kindlewood. Subtle and understated yet haunting and powerful, Kindlewood is truly a local Baltimore/Washington D.C. musical treasure.
Kindlewood, to date, has produced two albums and is currently working on their third. Their first album is entitled, I Don't Believe in Ghosts. Their second album is entitled, Desiderium. The video presented here is from a track off of their second album entitled, Dangerous is the Sound. It was shot as a live motel session by Cory Pampalone and is a delight to watch and listen too.
If you are in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area, I highly recommend experiencing Kindlewood in a live venue. It will be a truly memorable and enjoyable experience. If you are not local to the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area, do not despair. Kindlewood is also available through iTunes and well worth your support.
Enjoy!!
