Erik

Musician

Folk

Solo artist known (per DeBaser review) for the 1968 album Look Where I Am, combining folky singer-songwriter material, orchestral pop touches and psychedelic/folk experimentation.

Reviewed on DeBaser by Lewis Tollani (review published 2006-01-11). The album title includes the year 1968.

Lewis Tollani's DeBaser review celebrates Erik's 1968 album Look Where I Am for its cinematic orchestration, folky singer-songwriter moments and touches of psychedelia. Specific tracks singled out include the title track, "Painted On The Wall," "Dead Afternoon Song," and "Triyumphant Breaking Bottle." The review highlights varied instrumentation (muted trumpet, recorder) and comparisons to Burt Bacharach, Tim Buckley and Velvet Underground.

For:Fans of 1960s singer-songwriters, psychedelic folk, orchestral pop and adventurous arrangements.

Erik, the elf of New York. My ears are immediately filled with its magic (I put on the headphones because the neighbors…) and the notes of the first track start playing… like… the best Burt Bacharach engaged in a dreamlike journey, "Look Where I Am (Well It's Right Over Here)" is one of the most charming and alluring pieces I have ever heard.
