“Excellent Eastern-European-tinged, toe-tapping klezmer-folk with impressive clarinet solos, fine accordion accompaniment and great storytelling... hailing from San Francisco. Awesome Amie Street discovery. Thanks myoubiwan!”

“A clarinet-infused waltzy shantytown song with lots of charm, lovely harmonies, great musicianship, and lots of good old fashioned philosophical observations of life and its imperfections.”

Album: Soliloquy
Artist: Karpov
“A departure from klezmer undertones, this song is delightfully neo-backporch-Appalachia. The brushes on the snare drum add a nice touch. "When I'm done with California... go back to New York City and misbehave. I'm not afraid, I won't be swayed... by how much or how little I get paid." ”

“As myoubiwan aptly noted, this 3/4 ballad has elements of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Sufjan Stevens and more... spare guitar with harmonium accompaniment, mesmerizing trumpet solos, and a gorgeous climactic chorus full of voices. Just lovely.”

“A Dylan-esque ballad with a touch of Beirut brasswinds, Drunk-inspired lulling strings, and Sufjan Stevens-like harmonizing.”

“This song belongs in a movie. The sad song sings of no fulfillment and sorrow. Voice companions guitar and bemoans their fate. The minor melody and a decidedly lethargic tempo cry lonely enough to keep a listener listening.”

“The same pace and and oboe(?) and fluting to recall the Squirrel Nut Zippers, perennial era.”

“As "they" say.. simplicity is key. The simplicity of these lyrics won me over. I can genuinely say this charmed me. Can a song be warm in the belly like a little wine?”
