Los Angeles Loves... Tenlons Fort


Jack Gibson is too humble a man to hear such a statement, but his alter ego Tenlons Fort creates some of the most beautiful songs we have ever heard. Perhaps his humility is part of the reason why we hadn't heard anything about him until 2006's brilliant The Golden Handshake landed on our desk. The same kind of humility that has once again quietly released one of the best albums of the year in Followed By Bad Luck. Two great albums in two years is a rarity and so are the chances of finding an artist like Humble Jack. We'll refrain from calling out loose comparisons but chances are if you have shed tears listening to Elliott Smith, Neil Young (circa Silver & Gold), or David Pajo then we suggest not sampling this record at one of the listening stations at Amoeba since apparently there's no crying at kiosks. We didn't get the memo.

Tenlons Fort opens for Talkdemonic on 7/3 at Spaceland and also plays the Silverlake Lounge on 7/10.
