I first heard Brent Floren on the most recent Beaner’s Central “One Week Live” compilation. His contribution “Jukebox” was the highlight of those 18 tracks with its attitude, wit and soulful delivery. It signaled a songwriter with vision, solid musical sensibilities and maturity.

Floren’s latest release “High Horse” proves that the single track was no fluke. This full project is a good batch of songs disparate in their subject matter, melodic development and production while still being cohesive.
