Description
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and calling Colorado home, Gregory Alan Isakov has been traveling all his life.
Songs that hone a masterful quality beyond his years tell a story of miles and landscapes, and the search for a sense of place.
His song-craft lends to the deepest lyrical masterpieces, with hints of his influences, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen. It just has a certain feeling about it.
His new album, The Weatherman, was recorded mostly in solitude outside the quiet mountain town of Nederland, Colorado over the course of a year and a half. I wanted to make something that felt genuine. We recorded everything with analogue gear and mixed it on tape, which gives the songs a raw and vulnerable feeling.
The title Isakov chose for the record reflects the nature of his external surroundings as much as his inner experiences. References to the weather are a reoccurring theme in Isakovs writing, but there is a deeper meaning behind the name.
To me, the idea of a weatherman is really powerful. Theres a guy on television or on the radio telling us the future, and nobody cares. Its this daily mundane miracle, and I think the songs I chose are about noticing the beauty in normal, everyday life.
