Singer songwriter Diego Garcia shows himself to be a true romantic on his debut album, “Laura.” Garcia digs deep, both into his Argentine roots and into the western music tradition. This baroque inspired troubadour bring a sound that’s both bold and familiar at the same time, an ideal new face for fans of both new and classic songwriters. “You Were Never There,” filters the melodic sense of Lennon and McCartney through the perspective of Andrew Bird. Diego Garcia’s work is a nod to the past on the path to the future.

Beginning his career with the indie band Elefant, Garcia has gone on to seemingly universal acclaim in his solo work, even being included in NPR’s top twenty five records of the year. No wonder, considering the keen and catchy melodic work and lush instrumentation. Diego Garcia’s florid compositions have both taken inspiration from and been compared to the work of Leonard Cohen, high praise for a young musician.
