Justin and Tomek | “I Need to EP”
"I Need to EP" cover
Sometimes there are beautiful things sitting right under my nose that I don’t notice right away. Like butterflies and the smell of roses.
The piano-rock duo, Justin and Tomek, living just 5 hours from my apartment in Minneapolis, have succeeded in flying under my nose/radar since their first release in 2004. No longer!
“I Need to EP” is a beautiful mix of musicianship and songwriting. Featuring pianos, organs, guitars, basses, voices, drums, and who knows what else, the album takes a complex mixture of sounds and converts it into a heart-pleasing blend.
Only 5 songs long, the EP hangs on long enough to bring a tear to the eye before breaking into heartwrenching silence after the it’s fifth song, “World On My Shoulder”.
