Experience Seandemonium

A friend of mine sent me a CD by Sean Altman a few years ago. Great catchy pop that is not pretentious and doesn't pretend to be anything more than catchy melodies. The CD he sent me was Sendemonium and proved to be one of those instantly likable CDs.

Some of the songs (like the first one featured here - Person) is completely acapella, while others have more instruments. But all the songs have catchy melodies. Great harmonies and clever vocal stylings. As a lover of harmonies, I tend to prefer the acapella songs, but they're all great.
I started describing the music as very similar to David Yazbek (who will be featured here soon)and the harmonies similar to Rockapella. It was incredibly gratifying to visit his Wikipedia page and find that he is a long time friend of Yazbek and was the founder of Rockapella. Now, you shouldn't be surprised at the sound. There are some songs that remind me of Julian Lennon and others that are very Beatlesque, such as the second song featured here, You're Mine.

You can find all Sean's CDs on Amazon here. If you're interested in his Rockapella discography, you'll find it here. The songs featured in this post are from the Sendemonium album which you'll find here.

As always, I recommend you always visit the artist's site and buy CDs there to support the talent.
