New to Me: Neil Halstead

Neil Halstead describes the style of his music as "Nylon Rock".  Similar to fellow English singer/songwriter Nick Drake, Neil combines soft & smooth vocals over flowing guitar melodies.  In his websites bio, the recording process for his most recent album 'Oh! Mighty Engine' is described as follows: "He surfed in the mornings, and drank beer and recorded with various friends in the evening".  Sounds like the ideal songwriting process to me!  Thanks to Erin for turning me onto him.  Check out the music video for his song 'Elevenses' below:
