Magazine Sixty Music Review with Alexander Bollinger
Greg Fenton reviews Alexander Bollinger – Au Revoir – Be Adult Weapons This is a captivating piece of music. Not only because it drips with a swell of tempting, sentimental emotion but also because it feels revealingly musical scoring windswept strings, a chiming piano that blasts out occasionally, and cool acoustic guitar accompanied by a…
