Crystal City - self titled PDF Print E-mail
Written by Andy   
Monday, 21 June 2010
CodeStraight outta Marshalltown, IA is Crystal City - a country/folk rock band ready for your listening pleasures. I'm usually impressed more with bands debut albums, rather than what they eventually become. I think that a debut album really shows what a band is going for. It's what they're pouring their blood, sweat and tears into. It's like a first impression. You can make yourself or break yourself with a debut album. Well, congrats go out to Crystal City, because I like this album.

Crystal City is a nice, relaxing folky, Country duet between Dave Helmer and Sam Drella. It's got everything you need to sit out on a sunny, summer day and enjoy yourself (take that however you want). Some songs that really stick out here are BABY SAYS SHE LOVES ME, SLEEP IT OFF SUZIE, BRICKS, and FALLING BEHIND.

Once again, SLEEP ON THE FLOOR records has discovered a rare gem that is sure to be around for a while. If you get a chance to catch them on tour, please feel free to do it.

Crystal City gets my seal of approval.
