Doug Tuttle
It Calls On Me [Trouble In Mind]
Release date: February 19 [UPDATE: Moved up from 2/26]
Boston shows off some national muscle on February 26, as the day finds new albums from both Quilt and Doug Tuttle. On the latter, the one-time MMOSS frontman is back with his second LP for Trouble In Mind, led by a magnetic first single, the gentle ’60s-pop sway of “Falling to Believe”. Tuttle’s 2014 solo debut was hailed by critics and earned the Somerville musician a national following, and It Calls On Me should further cement the man as one of the region’s best songwriters, able to tell tales that weave in and out of dream-pop and psychedelica without losing their folk-born footing. A blissful effort for those who feel at the same time both (Neil) Young and (Kurt) Vile.
