Description
In the case of Jamieson Tobey, the words "musician" or "singer-songwriter" just aren't enough to describe what it is that he does. In a small apartment in Arlington, Virginia, on a shoe-string budget, 30 year old Jamieson Tobey single-handedly recorded and produced one of the most densely layered, emotionally charged, and staggeringly creative pop albums of recent time. Kenneth L. Doroshow (RIAA - Recording Industry Association of America) said, "Totally amazing...wow. I love the tunes, as well as the almost baroque production. Reminds me a little of something that Jason Falkner or Brendan Benson would have done, only I like this better (and I'm a fan of the genre)." "He did this all himself on his Protools rig, in which case it's even more amazing. Not only are the songs and performances great, but the mastering sounds really professional too. Unbelievable."
In February of 2006, Jamieson independently released his first full length, ten song album entitled "Everybody Feels The Same." By playing every instrument, recording and producing the album by himself, Jamieson was able to see his ambitious vision come to fruition. Ever the perfectionist, Jamieson kept "Everybody Feels The Same" shielded from friends and family until its completion. In his own words, "during the nineteen months that it took to record the album I never let a single person hear what I had been doing. Not even my mother. Actually, the first person to hear a note was Stewart (the mixing engineer). My hands were shaking when I handed him the hard drive, I felt dizzy."
After being professionally mastered by Fred Kevorkian (White Stripes, Dave Matthews Band, Ryan Adams) and mixed by Stewart Myers (Wishlist Recording) Jamieson's cd was finally ready to be heard. Even by his mother. The immediate reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. Primarily through word of mouth and a growing internet presence, cd sales have been steadily increasing and reviews have been glowing. "Jamieson Tobey is a one of a kind talent: a gifted singer/songwriter, a visionary producer, and an adept multi-instrumentalist. His music is not to be missed. Listen for yourself and you'll see why 'everybody feels the same'."
"many intelligent listeners will find plenty to love in this lush soundscape that combines flavors of Wilco, Radiohead and Coldplay with melodies that are ruminative, unresolved, and highly impressionistic. Ultimately its a beautiful sounding record." -Intelligentpop
"Jamieson Tobey was one of the 400,000 musicians that requested my friendship on MySpace last month, and one of the three that I actually added. Why? Because Everybody Feels The Same is a great record, plain and simpleone that is made even greater by the realization that Tobey, a drummer by profession, recorded it himself in his home. I have never heard a home production that sounds as fully realized as this. But at its core, this album succeeds not because of production, but because of great songs, like Love, Everybody Feels the Same and Walls. Tobey has a unique percussive aspect to most of these tunes, and while they dont reinvent the wheel, they achieve his goal: heartfelt, intimate and beautifully arranged pop ballads." -ON TAP
