The first track sounds like the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel. The third track is modern radio pop, the sixth tune is a country song and the 10th reminds of rhythm and blues. The vast gamut of sounds (you can find an Irish ballad and some Spanish-sounding strings) found on The Guggenheim Grotto’s debut LP, … Waltzing Alone, makes the album a bit of a square peg in today’s round-holed, genre-obsessed music world. That could be part of the reason that, despite placing songs “Philosophia” and “Vertigo” on a pair of ABC primetime shows and Damien Rice’s endorsement of Independent Music Award-winning track “Lifetime in Heat,” the Irish Trio is still largely flying under the radar.
