HERMAN JOLLY – KEY ON A KITE


ARTIST / BAND: HERMAN JOLLY
SONG (MP3): KEY ON A KITE
ALBUM: Bunker Life
FILE UNDER: Pop / Rock / Indie
LABEL: Fortune Records

INFO: Like Robyn Hitchcock, former Sunset Valley frontman (and current Seattle resident) Herman Jolly has a knack for writing wonderfully off-kilter yet oddly beautiful pop songs—the kind that are so distinctive they'd sound strange and slightly forced coming from anyone else, but fit his faintly cracked voice and tilted worldview to a T. He's returned to performing under his own name (although he's joined onstage by a rhythm section) and he's got a new album coming out really soon, so hopefully '07 will see this talented feller get the recognition he deserves.
