With a sound poppy enough to be catchy and intricate and unique enough to be intelligent, there are few reasons not to dig what Sean Hayes is doing. With rolling classically-inspired piano lines, chamber-pop guitar and soulful vocals, his music reflects a life spent absorbing various musical cultures: He was born in NYC, raised in North Carolina and started his musical career in San Francisco. And with a wealthy experience comes a concise lyrical approach that covers the same human concerns from executive board room to the rural mountains: greed, love, longing and death.
