Generally, I’m into pop, rock and rap, but every so often I cotton to a kinder, gentler album that crosses my desk.
Colin McGrath’s “Window Seat†is such a record, with folky ditties about a favorite childhood book, old friends, and a simpler time. It’s mostly just Colin telling nice stories, but he’s accompanied at times by Aaron Thurston (The French Kicks), Rob Moose (Sufjan Stevens, Antony and the Johnsons), and many others. It’s not the kind of record you’d expect from a native New Yorker.
