The Reed KD I heard on MySpace sounds more of a traditionally collegiate bluegrass-tinged, singer/songwriter pop w/ occasional electronic blips - than the tracks I'm showing here.
These tracks: does Reed KD borrow Elliot Smith's whispering vocals and melodic approach and strumming pop production and happy/morose attitude and...? Seems that way to me. But that's ok I guess. Especially if you are an Elliot Smith fan and suspect that the labels have finally stopped unearthing posthumus songs from the dearly departed.
Is that unfair to Reed KD? I hope not. I like this music despite the fact that it doesn't seem exceptionally unique. But let's be real, singer/songwriters usually aren't the types who care to re-invent the wheel eh? That's usually not their trump card. Differentiating flair never seem to be as important to its practicioners or its fans as whether listeners do or do not connect with the singer - whether they can successfully be intimate without being weepy. Reed KD does well if you look at it this way.
Thankfully there's the mp3 right here so you can listen and judge for yourself. There is another good one that I'd like to post soon as well...
