Deep in the Long Grass

It has been quite long time since local singer-songwriter Hugo released a new album. But now Hugo is back with his latest effort, Deep in the Long Grass.
All of the songs on this album are sung in English, which might concern some local listeners who may have trouble understanding what the lyrics are about. However, Hugo’s singing is clear and easy to listen to, and the music is also enjoyable on its own terms.
Deep in the Long Grass features 11 songs that range in style from folk rock to bluegrass, with some cool electronic sounds also used on some tracks. It’s quite different from what most local artists are doing, which makes Hugo’s songs stand out. The album’s fusion of traditional folk guitar with modern electronic sounds makes for an interesting mix.
Overall this album is an interesting listen, with a combination of sounds that conveys various atmospheres and feelings to keep listeners interested. Folk rock fans who want to check out something new and unusual should give Deep in the Long Grass a listen. — VH
