Sun Cut Flat is the product of 20-year-old, Boston-based Nick Lattanzi. A project based on do-it-yourself motives, all of the songs on their debut album, 'Running Of The Bulls' , were recording, with unbelievable clarity and precision, in-home in Nick's attic. Songwriting aside, this album is the perfect example of what can be achieved from home-recording if the time and effort are put in to do it properly. This album was truly a labor of love for Nick. The songwriting is stellar, the musicianship is beautiful, the vocals are spot on, and the recording in warm and clean- all of which was done in a sweltering attic with no air conditioning. 

The music itself is a very interesting take on folk music- a sort of acoustic/electric concoction, mixing in root-rock and what could be considered calypso to achieve an emotionally uplifting sound. The album starts with a live recording, quickly transitioning into the studio recording, and the album immediately takes off from there. Its not long before the first track, No Good Man, hits the chorus, leading way to a hook that is enough to pull any listener in looking for more. No Good Man does a great job setting the tone for the rest of the album- upbeat, bouncy, very catchy, but dense all the same. This music is by no means the same sort of empty, light-and-fluffy music that is the usual offender in the 'roots rock' category. 

The music is quite complex, with multiple guitar parts complimenting each other (many times having been panned to only accent notes through the left or right speaker), multi-part harmonies, spot on drum sections, warm bass lines, and even, at times, the use of harmonica, mandolin, viola, keyboards, organ, and effect sampling.  But the important element that never gets lost in the mix is the actual songwriting. Often lost to the overbearing use of layering, much of today's indie music tends to forget the importance of the role of songwriting, and how songwriting alone will make the song- the density of the music is just an added bonus (well, to be fair, it is also a necessity, but good songs can still be good without complex music, while simple music cannot be good without the songwriting). It is quite clear, even from the first chorus of No Good Man, the first track on the album, that Nick is a born songwriter. These songs feel personal, they feel emotional, but they feel smooth, and organic and never once feel contrived just to get to that hook. The progression of each song on the album feels like it should- progressing toward its natural hook, climax and resolution. Highlights of the album are No Good Man, Running Of The Bulls, Paper Sky, and Let You Down.

If this is the debut album from a 20-year-old songwriter- I, for one, will be following very closely to see what other prolific music SHOULD be released in the coming years. As long as Nick stays true to himself, writing songs that are emotionally personal to himself, while maintaining the ethos of 'do-it-yourself', and not relying on producers to fix his music for him, then he could have a very long career ahead of him. With time, and with effort, Nick can only approve upon what is already a stellar musical and songwriting performance, and that is something that I am looking forward to following. Nick Lattanzi may have made these songs for his own personal reasons, but in one listen he has made me a fan for life.
