about

Tumbleweed LP is André Costello’s debut album, an enthralling folk record that succeeds without mythical tales of cabin confinement. Recorded in his Pittsburgh home, the light, 35-minute affair introduces itself like a firm handshake on “Tumbleweed,” bursting forth with Costello’s enveloping vocal work. It’s a startling minor key take on the heights of Fleet Foxes’ brazen harmonies. As the record unfolds, folk instrumentation commingles with lo-fi electronics.

As Costello describes, “a truly good song’s core is its ability to be performed with only acoustic and voice.” That’s exactly what drives the music of Costello and the Cool Minors; a uniquely rich croon sidles right alongside indie folk contemporaries, but he stands on his own against genre forebears like Graham Nash and chief influence Neil Young. His often non-linear lyrics compartmentalize strange subject matter like horse-powered glue factories, as the acoustic skeleton of these songs is augmented by the occasional mandolin, an ominous harmonica solo (“In a Bad Way”) that conjures folk misfits Megafaun or a darker take on Talk Talk’s spirituality, and found sound textures (“Heart Strings”) that serve as the perfect segue way to his folksy meditations.
