Our Take

Nashville Soslatkin, a name that sounds like it was plucked straight out of a hipster baby name book, has graced us with "Abraham Lincoln Portraits," an album that is as unique as it is confusing. With a title that suggests a historical tribute, one might expect some epic orchestral compositions or maybe even a spoken word recitation of Lincoln's famous speeches. Instead, what we get is a mishmash of electronic beats, country twangs, and what can only be described as experimental kazoo solos.

From the opening track, "Honest Abe's Hoedown," it's clear that Soslatkin is not afraid to push the boundaries of what is considered traditional music. The combination of banjos, synthesizers, and turntable scratching somehow manages to both delight and confuse the listener in equal measure. It's a bit like attending a barn dance in outer space.

As the album progresses, Soslatkin continues to surprise with tracks like "Lincoln's Lament," a haunting ballad that showcases his soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics. And then there's "Battle of Gettysburg (Remix)," which sounds like a dubstep remix of a Civil War reenactment.

Overall, "Abraham Lincoln Portraits" is a wild ride that will leave you scratching your head and tapping your feet in equal measure. Nashville Soslatkin may not be the hero we expected, but he's certainly the one we deserve.
