Who? Eric Ayotte
Where are they from? Recently relocated to Bloomington, Indiana
What do they sound like? You might know Eric Ayotte only as the singer of Halo Fauna but he also does his own solo material as well. The word that keeps coming to mind when listening to Eric Ayotte is endearing. I mean the guy wrote an album’s worth of songs to his grandfather’s poetry. How beautiful is that? With his nasally vocal drawl, Ayotte reminds me most of The Mountain Goats. Ayotte’s songs are peculiar, vulnerable and touching all rolled into one. Towing the line between personal and political, Ayotte’s acoustic folk might be described as an acquired taste but it is one well worth acquiring.
