Christo Graham began writing his first songs when he was just 13. An old guitar and a Casio keyboard were all this lively singer-songwriter needed to fill summer after summer lovingly crafting demo tapes of the finest indietronica. His bedroom morphed into a recording studio, and Graham's head into an automaton that produced one quirky earworm after another. This minimalism is among what sets the DIY poet's sound apart from so many other artists of his ilk. This was particularly evident on his latest album ‘Turnin’’ (2020), whose 12 songs were inspired by a four-track recorder belonging to his grandmother and containing two songs recorded by herself at some point. A mystical experience for Graham, who more than lived up to his reputation as a passionately independent indie auteur. His new album “Music For Horses”, coming out this October, was also created on a similarly mystical recorder. Recorded in a 115-year-old classroom, with reduced percussion and restrained guitar, these new songs by Christo Graham emanate an almost meditative contemplation. Music for a day in the woods, for reflecting on the past and the future.
