Humpty Dumpty is a solo music author noted in DeBaser reviews for homemade, lo-fi psychedelic-folk recordings. Releases discussed include The Washing Line (debut compilation of recordings), To Quote a Bromide (2004) and River Flows.

Debut material compiled recordings from 1995–2000. The Washing Line collects many early four-track recordings. To Quote a Bromide (2004) is described in a DeBaser review as the artist's "absolute masterpiece." River Flows continues an evolution toward pastoral, raga-tinged and meditative sounds. Reviews on DeBaser are authored by derjungehermann.

Three DeBaser reviews praise Humpty Dumpty's transition from noisy lo-fi experiment to delicate pop-folk. 'To Quote a Bromide' is singled out as a masterpiece. The work is noted for pastoral melodies, psychedelic touches and homemade production charm.

For:Fans of lo-fi, psychedelic folk and homemade indie pop recordings.

 An album of great airiness with an essentially pop soul equates to a photographic overexposure: the light spreads liquidly between the guitar strings and the listening, and the impression is of crossing a light and dreamy mist from which pastoral folk sketches occasionally materialize ("Who goes amid the green wood" from Joyce), minimal electric mantra rides ("River Flows"), quirky nursery rhymes ("Take the trash out"), mesmerizing songs for guitar, voice, and panning ("Love came to us"), and placed in the closure, the dark night raga of "Shell of night."

 The absolute masterpiece of Humpty Dumpty.

  Discover the review

 The debut of Humpty Dumpty is quite a heterogeneous stew of amateurly recorded material between 1995 and 2000 with a 4-track used at the bare minimum of its possibilities.
