Scott Cooper writes and plays laid back-to-basics folky pop music that's firmly rooted in a love and appreciation of life's tiniest and oft-missed details. "Tiny Increments" features 11 catchy, sun-kissed tunes, with once accessible surfaces worn raw by bare-bones accompaniment and a rugged alt-country twang. The songs are honest and direct, featuring the kind of arrangements and lyrical concepts you could write on the back of matchbooks. Patience and repeat listens, however, reveal an unexpected depth and delightful melancholic sentiment. "Tiny Increments" balances itself on the head of a pin, teetering between heartache and hope, leaving you to wonder which direction it will all topple.

The answer of course, is always hope.  Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
