Talons’ is lo-fi folk singer/songwriter Mike Tolan (Six Parts Seven, Tusco Terror, Trouble Books) and his friends from other music projects. Originally released on Bark and Hiss, Songs for Babes is a folk gem soaked in reverb, ambient noises, field recordings, grainy tape recording, jangly guitars, and piano. The album features stories of fast food, drinking, working part-time, young mothers, and past girlfriends capture the anxiety of living in uneasy times. Songs for Babes is an intelligent, charming and intimate release that is at times wry, heavy hearted and holds a somewhat cynical worldview. Definitely keep an eye out for his forthcoming release Songs for Boats. – Written by JFelton
