Influenced heavily by the ’60s and ’70s folk revival, August Gladstone’s melodies feel intentionally simple, allowing his lyricism to do all of the heavy lifting. “Nevermore, Nevermind” reveals his playful wit, while “Mira” hints at a more sentimental and thoughtful route. There’s clear passion throughout, even when the sound stays restrained—his vocals, while they feel effortless, are perfectly unexceptional (though, like Dylan, that isn’t the point of his music). It's true that the genre can feel a bit stagnant at times, but Gladstone undoubtedly shows promise—especially if he eventually pushes beyond tradition.
