Tony Volker gives another stellar performance with his new album titled ‘Where The Light Gets In’. His stylings have always been a bit eclectic, which is something I love, but his pop and hook writing skills really shine on this latest outing. I compare him somewhat to Michael Penn because of that unique blend of endearing quirkiness, originality, and use of instruments from, not only different stylings but different cultures. And they blend so well.
‘Where The Light Gets In’ is out now on all digital platforms.

Citing James Holden and the Animal Spirits, Francis Bebey and Goat as some of the key influences, his latest release, Where the Light Gets In, draws on, Indian ragas, Electronica, Psychedelia, Folk, Hip Hop, Pop, Grunge and Indie to create a kaleidoscopic and textured listening experience.
