About Me |
|
| HARP MAGAZINE: ". . . airy, wafting melodies; mellow hooks; discreetly adventuresome guitar . . . trance-inducing vocal (David Gilmour meets Jeff Buckley) . . ." CHECK OUT THE VIDEO FOR "PREACHER" DIRECTED BY ROLAND BECERRA CHECK OUT THE VIDEO FOR "RAGGEDY ANNE" DIRECTED BY JASCHA EPHRAIM BOB BOILEN, NPR “If you like like great pop music, the type of music you may hear Elliot Smith or Jeff Buckley write, you should listen to J DiMenna. Dimenna’s made a CD that’s infectious. Its the kind of infectious music that took time to grab me, the kind of infectious music that I find myself singing and not realizing what it is or how it even crept into my subconscious.” NASHVILLE SCENE "J DiMenna is skilled at understatement… His sonic palette is often hushed and vaudevillian, with fine layers of resonating guitars, wispy keyboards, strings and xylophone and subtle, sleepily intoxicating melodies.” JOHN JAMES / Syndicated POSITIVELY YEAH YEAH YEAH “Terrific debut from this talented, multi-instrumental songwriter.” BILL EVANS, XM Radio “Brilliant... I expect great things from him for a long time.” TIME OUT NEW YORK “On J DiMenna’s subtle singer-songwriter disc Awkward Buildings (Exotic), well-wrought lyrics and intricate writing provide a bridge between diverse styles, from Beatlesque to Waitsian.” JONATHAN TAKIFF, Philadelphia Daily News "J. DiMenna, a subtle North Carolina craftsman is making his national debut with "Awkward Buildings". DiMenna sings in a high, sweet voice evocative of Ray Davies and Elliot Smith in their respective primes. And his graceful, strings-endowed art pop is as richly endowed in atmospherics as it is in metaphoric meaning." FLAGPOLE, Athens, GA One of "Seven Bands I Learned to Love at SXSW". THE WEEKLY ALIBI, Albuquerque, NM THE CHATANOOGA PULSE, Chattanooga, TN |
