Bouldin

Wiretree是近期进入音乐之都蓬勃发展的独立音乐场景中最具潜力的作品之一，拥有跨越大西洋两岸的声音，融合了熟悉的美国民谣和英伦流行的元素。正如Austinist.com所写：“Smithereens、Squeeze和The Posies都在受影响的名单中，但Tom Petty、James Taylor和Brendan Benson也在其中。”《Bouldin》是Wiretree的首张完整专辑，由Peroni创作和演奏。这张专辑在他的家庭录音室中历时两年录制，展现了这位年轻艺术家独特的音乐视野。尽管专辑的多样性丰富，但《Bouldin》贯穿着Peroni对美国和弦的热爱，他那舒缓、低调的嗓音以及英伦的敏感性。根据Austinist.com的说法，《Bouldin》是“一张九首歌曲的证明，展现了美国和弦的魅力，体现了真正民谣音乐的美好，轻松地架起了The La's与70年代末George Harrison之间的桥梁。”Peroni在科珀斯克里斯蒂长大，早期便对音乐产生了浓厚的兴趣。他在年轻时自学钢琴，高中和大学时演奏小号，后来在一家音乐商店工作时学习吉他。以Dylan和The Beatles为指导，Peroni开始了创作的时期，这为他后来的首次发行奠定了基础。尽管他仍然高度尊重美国民谣偶像，但他的唱片收藏则见证了蓬勃发展的英伦流行运动。为了寻找更好的工作，并渴望亲身体验世界著名的奥斯汀音乐场景，Kevin在90年代中期搬到了奥斯汀。在参与多个乐队演出后，Kevin意识到他需要建立自己的乐队，以充分实现他的音乐愿景。他迅速招募了妻子Rachel担任贝斯手，以及Josh Kaplan担任吉他手，开始现场演出他的音乐。One of the most promising recent entries into the music capitol’s blossoming indie scene, Wiretree boasts a sound that spans both sides of the Atlantic, containing equal doses of some familiar American folk and Britpop marvels. As Austinist.com wrote, “Smithereens, Squeeze and the Posies all make their appearances in the influenced-by department, but so do Tom Petty, James Taylor and Brendan Benson.\"Bouldin, Wiretree’s first full-length release, was written and performed entirely by Peroni. Recorded over the span of 2 years in his home studio, Bouldin is a masterful testament to the singular musical vision of this young artist. Though the record’s eclecticism is undeniable, Bouldin is threaded by Peroni’s affinity for American chords; his soothing, unassuming vocals; and his British sensibilities. According to Austinist.com, Bouldin is “a nine song testament to American chords, everything that was good about real folk music, bridging the gap between The La’s and late ’70s George Harrison with ease.\"Peroni grew up in Corpus Christi where he took an early interest in music. He taught himself piano by ear at a young age, played trumpet through high school and college, and later learned guitar while working at a music store. Using Dylan and The Beatles as a guide, Peroni began a period of writing that would later lead to his first release. When grunge took hold in the states, Peroni immersed himself in the British music scene. Most notably, he was drawn to bands like The La\'s, Travis, Oasis, Pulp, and Supergrass. Though he still held the American folk icons in high regard, his record collection was a testament to the flourishing Britpop movement.In search of a better job and eager to experience the world-famous Austin music scene first hand, Kevin relocated to Austin in the mid 90\'s. After playing in several bands, Kevin became certain he needed to build one of his own in order to fully realize his vision. He quickly recruited his wife Rachel on bass and Josh Kaplan on guitar to begin performing his music live.
