AP Track Review
Kevin Healey, sometimes known as Eddie Kite, is a singer-songwriter based in the seacoast region of New Hampshire. There he stirs his DIY musical creations in a home studio having released 5 EPs and one full length since 1996. He also happens to be an associate professor of media studies. His latest offering entitled A Song is a House You Live In cuts in many ways. It starts with a whimsical folk meets musical theater sound and then falls into a kind of blue collar busker vibe with piercing electric guitar tones that exist somewhere in between blues and glam rock. There are even double leads but it is those lead tones that actually made me think of Bill Nelson (Be Bop Deluxe) and the bridge elevates all that came before with a sort of homespun diversion into a psychedelic fantasy world. Interesting blend indeed.
