It just
takes a few seconds of listening to Down to Your Hairs before I close my eyes
and let myself be swept away by the beautiful melodies. Some might know Rhys
Jon Baker from the group Wild Dogs in Winter that released the amazing album,
Homba, in 2010. A Native Hundred is his dazzling and melancholic solo project
that is just as good as anything that Wild Dogs in Winter has released. It's
fragile and the balance between hope and sadness rings throughout all 11
tracks. As astounding as the music is with its acoustic tones, beautiful
arrangements and field recordings, it wouldn't be complete without Rhys
haunting, frail vocals and poetic prose. Together it creates an album and an
emotional journey. It leaves the listener craving more, I know I do.
