Somewhere in New Hampshire there is a tortured artist named Chet Wasted. Known as Jacob McCabe IRL, and usually found fronting the revered Perspective, A Lovely Hand To Hold, Chet seems anything but wasted in his solo music. Between his caressing croon and that sticky staccato piano, I feel like I am nodding off into the smoothest sleep of my winter. Also some of these chords and harmony layers make me wonder- is this guy classically trained? Is this too high brow for MNE? Welcome back to the comp, Chet. We need your tunes to keep raising the bar around here!
