Upstairs at United (17/08/11)

Ah, the good old Upstairs At United Vol. 2 by the one and only Cory Chisel. Let's dive into this gem, shall we? First off, let's talk about the title - Upstairs At United. Sounds like a fancy party happening in someone's loft, doesn't it? Well, Chisel's music is definitely a party, but it's more of a low-key, intimate gathering with your closest friends rather than a wild rager. The album kicks off with "Time Tells No Lies," a hauntingly beautiful track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Chisel's voice is like melted chocolate - smooth, rich, and oh so satisfying. As the album unfolds, we're treated to a mix of folk, rock, and Americana vibes that make you feel like you're sitting by a campfire under a starry night sky. Tracks like "I Was Gone" and "Empty Bottle" showcase Chisel's songwriting chops, while "Born Again" and "Home in the Woods" will transport you to a serene, peaceful place far away from the chaos of the world. Overall, Upstairs At United Vol. 2 is a gem of an album that deserves a spot in your record collection. So grab a glass of wine, cozy up by the fire, and let Cory Chisel take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that!
