The Wind, It Howls
Claire Heywood
Self-Released
After a couple years of playing around locally in Denver, Claire Heywood has arrived with a gorgeous debut EP of singer-songwriter leaning rock entitled, The Wind, It Howls. With straight forward delivery, clean guitars, driving rhythms and powerful, bluesy vocals, Heywood saunters through six tracks that have a simple beauty to them. Like an easy walk on a clear, brisk morning or an afternoon stroll on a warm, fall day, Heywood delivers a sound that is both relaxing and captivating. With hints of Liz Phair and Aimee Mann in her style, Heywood delivers an exemplary debut and is definitely one to keep an eye out for. (Simon Weedn)
