Boris Skalsky: First Songs [Album Review]

Boris Skalsky

First Songs is the solo work of songwriter Boris Skalsky, who fronts Dead Heart Bloom. Here one will find a stripped-down folk side of Skalsky as opposed to something a bit heavier. Piano and acoustic guitar replaces rock guitars and drums.

It is a welcome change; songs like opener “Bright Eyes Gone” and it’s successor “A Love To Remember” have memorable, heartfelt melodies. This trend continues throughout First Songs. Select songs have a classic folk sound, like the chorus to “It’s A Truth” and “Soft Rains”.

Boris Skalsky’s music is honest and captivating. One listen to the plucked guitar and accompanying piano in “Learn To Grieve” and you too will be a fan.

First Songs by Boris Skalsky is available now on Amazon.
