Indie pop
Orlando singer-songwriter Jason Hill creates sentimental pop in a simple frame, striking a nerve somewhere between Elvis Costello and George Harrison. His songs are about empty feelings and missed opportunities more often than not, but they each look up in their pointed observations. What results is a classic pop vibe with an almost haunting sense of clever song craft: rich, timeless. Hill's music is a study of his influences. The swirl of Brian Wilson's loopy mood enhancement meets the resignation of coffehouse media darling Elliott Smith's dilapidated asides. Costello's heavily intoned bite flips into the love psychedelia of Crowded House-man Neil Finn. In the end, though, all the elements come out in a sound that is uniquely Jason Hill--through a voice part Elvis Costello, part Elvis Presley.
