Horizon Drops
by Scott Hefflon

James Raftery has been compared to Elliot Smith, with the classic storytelling of folk rock. On Horizon Drops, he’s added drums, sped up some of the songs, and maybe cheered up just a little. But just a little. Warm production and fuzzy guitars, very ’90s indie rock.
