SoundClouder of the Day | Nicholas Stevenson

Nicholas Stevenson’s biography claims that he was “found as a child wandering a North American wood on all fours.” While we doubt this, there is a dreamlike quality to Stevenson’s lo-fi folk jams that makes you half believe that it could be true. His quieter songs have an ethereal tenderness that recalls the likes of Elliott Smith, while his louder moments bring to mind Weezer’s scuzzy geek rock.

We love how Nicholas leaves comments for other SoundClouders, not to mention his beautiful artwork – which he creates himself! Way to go, Nicholas.
