[Review] A Thousand Angry Panthers
A Thousand Angry Panthers, the recently released EP from singer Bradley Hathaway, opens with a base melody of guitar and violin that have been pleasantly paired with the folk-setto simplicity of Bradley’s voice. 
Hathaway has long been known for his prowess as a lyricist, having showcased his talents as a poet while touring with some of the largest names in the indie rock and hardcore scenes across the country. His non-rhyming verse wrestles to unleash a story often trapped behind the dimensional constraints of even a common language, through which Bradley craftily communicates his complex and personal journey of conviction.
Panthers utilizes periods of tonal monotony consistent with vocal trends in the folk underground as this four song EP expresses an emotic range that toys with shades of serene acoustic elegance while building towards its anthematic yet tempered finale. Hathaway as vocalist may be an acquired taste, but for those who enjoy offbeat and earnest poetry, this album takes Hathaway’s signature vocal musings and casts them to a tailored indie-folk backdrop. For those who might be quick to dismiss a poet gone folk, you might take a moment to research the roster of talent that Bradley Hathaway has shared the stage with (mewithoutYou, Blindside, The Chariot, As Cities Burn – just to name a few) and give the album a listen in its digital entirety.
