Van Morrison having drinks with Morrissey
author: Carl Williams Iii
This Fleeting House begins with a boy who wakes up on mars and has trouble recovering his satellites. It ends with a boy and his dreams. You hear the hip-hop influence in "Providence." It’s not contrived like most of these pseudo folk hip-hop studio gangsters. Mr. Sendrowitz does with hip-hop what David Gray did with break beats. It’s intelligent, subtle, and just right. This sets the tone for the record. Introspective, texturally rich, meaningful lyrics and music. The music is in the singer songwriter vein without being pigeon holed. You can hear the Van Morrison and Dylan influences, but Mr. Sendrowitz has his own voodoo. "Radio Daydreams" is rock n’ roll with a born to run, motherfucker sensibility to it.. "Our Love Will Blow It all Away" is a beautiful love song. "The Ancient Circle" closes This Fleeting House, and is not only the finest moment on the record, but also the most ambitious.
This Fleeting House is a very sensual recording. It’s sexy, but not overtly. It’s conscientious, but not didactic. It’s smart, but not smart ass. Mr. Sendrowitz executes a subdued charm and integrity which is rare in most musicians. It is not necessarily what the artist gives on this record that makes it so delightful, but rather what he holds back.

Beautifully written and passionately executed; this CD is a romantic treasure

When I listen the songs on "This Fleeting House", by Brian Sendrowitz, I am inspired....to buy a guitar and learn how to play it, to re-read a novel that I thoroughly enjoyed, to buy roses (or a diamond ring) for my girlfriend, to quit my job and travel around Europe, or simply to start the CD over again, and come up with a few more things I dream of doing...

Very cool

Rarely do you find genuinely heartfelt and moving lyrics with compelling musical twists such as that heard on Brian Sendrowitz's new album "This Fleeting House."
His live shows really show his dynamic style and warm personality.
I suggest that any music and art loving individuals looking for a gem of a musical experience find Brian's cd and give it a twirl.

A rare find!

What do you say when faced with the true projection of one's soul? When the emptiness of a room is set alite by a set of words so true they resonate - you have no choice but to sit back and say to yourself, "Why haven't I heard of this guy before?" And that's exactly what you'll do after listening to This Fleeting House. Half-way into the first track, Trouble With The Gravity, you can sense the artistic integrity of Brian's songcraft. LISTEN TO THESE WORDS! Lines like, "Budda has his middle road/And Jesus has humility/I just want to live my life/To the best of my ability", leave you feeling like this guy's really got it all figured out. But he's only 23! And he can rock! On upbeat tracks like Providence, and Radio Daydreams, Brian defiantly refuses to be confined to one style. This is one of those rare finds. After months in my CD rotation next to unsigned indie acts and big name headliners alike, I'm still left wondering, "Why haven't I heard of this guy before?"
