Local Review: Bleary – Ventriloquate
Bleary Ventriloquate Xstatic Studios Street: 06.2006 Bleary = I Am Electric + The Brobecks – irony + The New Transit Direction I wouldn’t exactly say I like Bleary, but I can’t say they’re bad either. I don’t have the musical ability to start or play in a band, so I can respect that they’ve gotten

Local Review: Batty Blue – Ekphrasis
Batty Blue Ekphrasis Self-Released Street: 01.17 Batty Blue = Amelie soundtrack + Laura Marling There’s an oversaturation of folk bands in Provo, but this album is charming and off-beat enough from the typically clean-cut music of Happy Valley to stand alone.
