Sounds Like Fall is the moniker under which Iowan Joe Young has recorded this, his debut album. Apart from a drummer and pedal steel man he does pretty much everything else, and the result is a hypnotic set of songs that inveigle themselves into your brain and soul with the subtleness of snakes and the addictiveness of amphetamines. His music is restrained almost past the point of no return, but with echoes of steel. “Pretty Little House”’s take on death cuts to the quick, while “Dust Pile” sweeps out of the speakers, stately as a combine progressing across the endless prairie.
