We chanced upon the Los Angeles group Broken Anchor. Truthfully, we went to their website expecting to assess a sampler from the recording company Broken Arrow. Rather than a sampler of different recording artist under the same label, we bumped into songs from a band we soon wanted to add to our mental library of noteworthy artists. So, we admit to being lucky, which is not a tough attribute to deal with as you go through life. Best yet, Broken Anchor is offering their sampler for FREE!
The Broken Anchor sampler has a number of worthwhile songs, but we particularly favor “Dear Diary.” The voice of Austin Hartley-Leonard is easily enough to maintain our interest in the song through its first two minutes and thirty seconds. Then, at the 2:30 mark, the song takes a slight turn – not vocally, but instrumentally. Mike Duffy is the percussionist. It is not a major transition, but it is enough of a shift that it becomes a "listener’s interest refresh.” Well done guys!
The five-song sampler of Broken Anchor is available as a free download from the band’s website –
As another option, you can download the same five songs, but with a darker sixth song, “Stencil Heart,” by downloading the sampler from the NoiseTrade site - http://noisetrade.com/brokenanchormusic/broken-anchor-vol-1
"Dear Diary" by Broken Anchor
After “Dear Diary,” we recommend “Never Leave Me Alone,” because the song has more of a rock edge to it. If it matters to you, there is an “F Bomb” or two.
