I'd like to welcome Kate Wieking as a new writer at Muzik Dizcovery. She used to work for the excellent review site The Album Project, and now she will lend her skills here.
There’s a good chance that if you are of the indie/alternative music persuasion you’ve already heard Jeremy Larson. He may be one of the most accomplished musicians you’ve never heard of. The self-taught string master has contributed string arrangements to albums by Sleeping At Last, MuteMath, and Eisley and is forming a supergroup with Darren King (MuteMath) and Stacy DuPree King (Eisley). Most significantly, Larson has 3 albums out as an orchestral-based singer/songwriter and an EP out under his Beach Boys-influenced side project Fort Christmas. His most recent release, They Reappear, is a cinematic soundtrack of Larson’s signature unaffected vocals, ambitious songwriting, and soaring melodies. If you’re in the mood for something less high-concept, check out my personal favorite of his discography, Salvation Club, a collection of melancholy piano pieces in the vein of Copeland. Larson isn’t going anywhere, so the sooner you get on this bandwagon, the better. Check out Salvation Club here.

Great piece. I've been needing to invest some time into this man for a long time, maybe I'll get around to it soon.
