Jack Alboher- Cornbliss Highway

A fate-guided discovery from the Vermont/Western Mass subterrain, Jack Alboher’s Cornbliss Highway on ULYSSA is a beguiling hybrid in the quirky “toejazz” niche, fusing Bruce Hornsby’s exuberant balladry with sharp metallic guitar and ethereal vocals reminiscent of Grizzly Bear’s golden era. Filtered through a distinctly computerized, Soundcloud-era script that lends it an endearingly retro exterior, the album finds Alboher operating on his own private wavelength.
