Our Take

In the mystical realm of Absalomin, Donovan Quinn weaves a tapestry of folk-infused psychedelia that transcends time and space. With a wink and a nod to his influences, Quinn channels the spirits of Donovan, Nick Drake, and Syd Barrett, while carving out his own distinct path in the crowded landscape of contemporary music.

From the opening track "Candelabra Angels," Quinn invites listeners on a whimsical journey through enchanted forests and cosmic plains. His ethereal vocals float above shimmering guitars and swirling synths, creating a sonic landscape that is both haunting and hypnotic.

Tracks like "Moonbeam Carousel" and "Starlit Shipwreck" showcase Quinn's knack for crafting melodies that are at once nostalgic and fresh. His lyrical prowess shines through on songs like "Crystal Cave" and "Mermaid's Lament," painting vivid images of love, loss, and redemption.

As the album unfolds, Quinn's eclectic musical palette reveals itself in unexpected ways, with nods to chamber pop, baroque folk, and even a touch of glam rock. Each track is a miniature masterpiece, meticulously crafted and expertly executed.

Absalomin is a sonic journey like no other, a whimsical fairy tale for the modern age. In Quinn's capable hands, the listener is transported to a realm where the mystical and the mundane intertwine, leaving us breathless and spellbound until the final notes fade into the ether. A truly enchanting achievement from one of music's most captivating storytellers.

About the artist

Donovan Quinn

Donovan Quinn is a musical chameleon, constantly reinventing himself and surprising audiences with his eclectic blend of folk, indie rock, and psychedelia. Hailing from the quirky streets of San Francisco, Donovan first made waves in the music scene with his band Skygreen Leopards, whose dreamy, lo-fi sound captured the hearts of hipsters and hippies alike. But Donovan is not one to rest on his laurels, and he soon struck out on his own as a solo artist, releasing a string of albums that showcased his songwriting prowess and unique sense of melody. His music has been described as a "fever dream of nostalgia and whimsy," with lyrics that weave intricate tales of love, loss, and everything in between. Donovan's live performances are a sight to behold, with his band of merry misfits creating a swirling, kaleidoscopic sound that transports audiences to another dimension. Whether he's strumming his trusty acoustic guitar or crooning into a vintage microphone, Donovan commands the stage with a magnetic energy that is impossible to resist. With influences ranging from Bob Dylan to Syd Barrett, Donovan's music is a melting pot of styles and sounds that defies categorisation. One minute he's channeling the spirit of 60s folk revival, the next he's embracing the sonic experimentation of the 90s shoegaze scene. In a world of cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured personas, Donovan Quinn stands out as a true original, a musical maverick who refuses to be pigeonholed. With each new release, he pushes the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of indie music, inspiring a new generation of artists to follow their own creative path. So sit back, relax, and let the music of Donovan Quinn take you on a wild and wonderful journey.
