With each additional listen, this album opens itself up to being more than just an instrumental folk album, but one layered in creativity and talent. Once again breathing new life into an old form, Duncan Pelletier proves that he is not just another folk singer.
Pelletier’s songwriting, both in the arrangements and vocals, is aimed on the development and of his art.
Nobody plays like the way he does in Better than This, surely he is better than any artist when it comes to combining guitar plucking and his textured, earthly voice.
I Needed One projects with grace, refinement, and skill. It is a representation of something powerful; a song that is not easy to forget once you hear it.
Temptation is a song that is very tempting to listen to over and over again. It is an image of dreams coming true for an artist like him.
Closing up the album is Everything is Done and Figured Out. Close your eyes and absorb Pelletier’s earthly vocals that coils in between caressing acoustic strings.
Better Than This highlights an artist that’s in love with his craft and chosen genre. In each track,n we are treated with pure talent and passion. So press play, download, and enjoy a pristine musical journey.
