Album Notes

"When Your Eyes Are Closed" is Dave Desmelik's fourth independent release and promises to be his best offering to date. This Americana singer/songwriter continues to establish himself as an accomplished vocalist and lyricist and an ascending and gripping performer. Thanks for supporting independent music.

"With this album, Desmelik assembles an impressive collection of NPR-ready songs that are both traditional sounding and contemporary. When Your Eyes Are Closed is respectful of its simple heritage, while remaining slightly unconventional and adventurous."
-Performer Magazine (southeast)

"Desmelik reminds me of the reasons I got into bed with Americana on the first date. An unpretentious approach to songwriting and performance, gritty and generic without being predictable, his songs show an excellent range."
-americana-uk.com

"His confident voice is reminiscent of a campfire storyteller who knows that each word carries weight."
-Mountain Xpress

"There's a passion in the heart of Desmelik's live shows, as well as his songs. There's the feeling that he is the genuine article."
-Asheville Citizen-Times, Take-5

"With his strongest and most muscular songs yet, he comes out swinging, crafting a disc wherein country and rock meet in a glorious head on collision."
-Rapid River

"The sound is dark, damp, and full of emotion."
-Kerry Gibson, Shut Eye Records

"Definitely a must listen for anyone that enjoys some good ol' Americana folk."
