I'm not fond of all the Twitters and Tumblrs, etc. and so forth. Whatever happened to just having a plain old website? It's a pain in the neck trying to figure out who somebody is when they don't have a regular website (or at least a Facebook page, geez).
So it turns out that reed is Reed Murray of Carollhood. To be fair, Carrollhood does have a Facebook page. But you'd be surprised how many Reed Murrays there are and how many of them are Indie musicians. And, yes, someone who is familiar with the Twitters and Tumblrs could have figured out who reed was in a snap. But I'm not and didn't. Enough of the rant.
Anyway, reed says he wrote and recorded "Holiday By My Side" in his bedroom, but you'd never know it. Everything about this song is awesome. It's an Indie track, sure, but also a bit Ambient. Very pretty and contemplative in any case. It sounds a little bit as I imagine (God, I'm old) Simon & Garfunkles "Sounds of Silence" might have sounded, were they coming up today (of course, lyrically, its apples and oranges). "Holiday By My Side" will be popping up on Indie Christmas playlists for years to come. At least it should. Check it out on Bandcamp.
