When I first put on Adam Mugavero’s CD, I was reminded of Angie Aparo.  Vocally, there is some similarity between Angie Aparo.  Stylistically though, Mugavero is more like Josh Rouse.  Mugavero has a style that I’ll call dream-folk.

The folk part comes is easier to explain, so I’ll tackle that first.  The mandolin and strings in the first couple songs (“History” and “Air”) that give the CD a sort of down-home feel. What’s dreamy about this disc?  I don’t know if I could say for sure.  All I can say is that as I listened to this disc, I found myself so entranced by the songs that I was failing to take notes.  The songs have a kind of ethereal sound that reminds me a lot of Josh Rouse.

Perhaps another way to describe Mugavero’s sound is that he makes good coffeehouse music.  I don’t mean the corporate giant coffeehouse.  I mean the coffeehouse that’s open all night, where people play chess and read the classics.  Mugavero’s music is perfect for a coffeehouse like that. 

I’ll say one other thing for Mugavero.  If Hollywood discovers his music, he could really take off.  His music would be great in independent films.  Breathe is a terrific album that I think will get a lot of time with me.
