“elusively familiar yet wonderfully original” … “contemplative and heartfelt wordplay” … “distinct and idiosyncratic” … “ruminative and delicate and a little bit trippy” … “a magnum opus of the modern musician.”
It’s fun to see the first wave of reviews come in for What’s in the Meaning of That Cloud in the Sky. Check out a few excerpts below.
The Rock and Roll Report (September 16, 2019)
“Strong writing, strong musicianship and nicely varied music combine to create a release that offers something for everyone.”
Review Fix (September 12, 2019)
“Greg Roensch’s new EP is full of contemplative and heartfelt wordplay. The dreamy aesthetic of the album makes the instrumental surprises hidden within stand out and grab your attention. This also allows the lyrics and vocals to be placed front and center, allowing you to fully appreciate the soft and inspired performances …”
IndiePulse Music (September 11, 2019)
“Roensch has released an album that could be considered a magnum opus of the modern musician, with a ‘Talk – Singing’ style indicative of Avant-guard artists like Tom Waits or early Dylan … he has created an album of 13 tracks which sound like the 13 steps to wisdom, philosophical and rebellious in a fashion, simple yet complex and all highly infectious.“
Stereo Stickman (September 11, 2019)
“Each song creates a gentle and satisfyingly human take on Roensch’s subject matter, which is ruminative and delicate and a little bit trippy. It’s distinct and idiosyncratic, and I dig it for that.”
“‘Nobody But You,’ a tantalizingly soft tune, is reminiscent of Bob Dylan, elusively familiar yet wonderfully original.”
