After numerous lauded, local efforts under an assortment of band monikers [The Easys, Big Silver, etc.] writer Isaac Alexander goes solo. Recorded onto ancient analog machines over a spare weekend in Nashville during Summer '07, See Thru Me is superbly fine and unfussed over in all of the good kinds of ways. Most of these tracks get the simple accoutrements - some spare guitar, loping and quiet drum washes, a few pulsing organ sweeps. Without a touch of smarm, it's all very homey and sweet. What keeps all of it inspiredly afloat and all-the-while remarkable is Isaac's genuine ease with melody and lyric.
