Thousands
Thousands on Bandcamp
THOUSANDS is the name of Seattle duo Kristian Garrard & Luke Bergman whose gorgeous debut, "The Sound Of Everything", is one of the gentlest, most tender records you'll ever hear; just two entwined voices, exquisite acoustic guitar and a very occasional harmonium. Oh, and sounds from nature; bird calls, falling leaves, blowing wind and natural reverb are all present, underlining the organic creation of Thousands songs and their surreal, nature-focused lyrics.

At times the music of Thousands echoes Fleet Foxes' hymnal beauty. But the overriding feel shares some of the hushed simplicity of Elliott Smith and Simon and Garfunkel, fused to the finger-picking dexterity of John Fahey and Bert Jansch. "The Sound Of Everything" is all about the human voice and heartbeat, the purity of sound, capturing a specific place at an exact moment.

Influenced by the great crooners of bygone years and the ambient sounds of the more modern alternative scene, singer songwriter Daniel J Brayson?s rich tones and a wistful lyrical style explore many of life?s intrinsic feelings such as longing, escapism and fantasy, culminating in something of a transcendent listening experience.
