About Me |
|
| i write songs for those who see the face of god in dirt and rust and broken things. for those who love desolation and who make of it ceremony and song. for those who bear memory's weight and who count the days of their youth in the blinking lights of distant radio towers and deserted intersections. who read in the crumbling names of towns on water towers the dispatches of passing seasons and forgotten heartbeats. for those who in dreams find great and unknowable mystery. who love words that sound upon their lips like secrets and sighs. My album, Hymns to the Darkness, is available for $13, including shipping, in the U.S. and $18, including shipping, overseas. I can accept payment by paypal at jeffzentner@yahoo.com. For alternative payment options, please message me. You can also purchase the album at http://cdbaby.com/cd/zentner; as well as on iTunes. Without fail, the lyrics read well in their own right as poems, and truly shine out when put to Zentner’s hypnotic, whispering vocals and dreamy arrangements.Beware though, this album does not make for easy listening. Zentner’s tales are tinged with black, and as beautiful as his prose is, there is a real underlying darkness that imparts a deliciously deep sense of unease. Conjuring images of desolate, rusty small towns, and compelling tales of human tragedy, love, and friendship, the listener is transported away into another world entirely. --Americana-UK Hymns to the Darkness on CD Baby Hymns to the Darkness on iTunes i also make music with a band called creech holler |
