Now Bob Corbett is hardly your run of the mill acoustic artist. His performances are a quirky mix of Battles, Dylan and John Butler, and he has a smile that could send a pious man blind.
He’s just lovely, in a take him home and put him on your shelf way, and that’s exactly what you should do with his album.
Bob exhibits impeccable use of loop pedals and vocal skill. He weaves intricate vocal landscapes over his at times poppy and others dirty acoustic guitar.
Storyboard wanders between styles like a curious child, chewing on a slice of reggae/roots here before leaving crayon carvings over some blues-rock or airy acoustic pop.
Bob is a masterful songwriter, with simple yet transporting lyrics and melodies. His riffs stick in your head, and you’ll be singing his songs to yourself for days.
