It being the gorgeous melodies and lean, spellbound guitar lines of Colin Caulfield, an English\/French lit major who s about to change what it means to be a shape-shifting singer-songwriter in the YouTube age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust ask Bradford Cox. He knows. Why, just a year ago, the Deerhunter frontman stumbled upon Caulfield;s organ-grinding rendition of Rainwater Cassette Exchange and said it s fantastically superior to the original. It actually sent shivers up my spine, especially during the second verse. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBelieve it or not, that chilling cover was just a warming up session. As killer as he is at capturing the very essence of everything from Animal Collective to Ariel Pink, Caulfield s true talent is in telling his own Young Man stories. The first chapter of which goes by the name Boy, a deceivingly-simple suit of songs about wanting to grow up without having the slightest idea of what being a man actually means.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow that s a reason to hit rewind, from the tone-setting tenderness and psych-infused harmonies of Five to the restless rhythms and room-engulfing intimacy of Up So Fast. Both of which feature some of the most hopeful\/haunting choruses you ll hear it all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd that s just the beginning, of course. Since Young Man was conceived as a concept project about the passing of time, love, and loss, Caulfield already has two loosely-linked LPs on tap a faceless collection of fragile characters that could be any one of us, really.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA lot of it s autobiographical, explains Caulfield, but it s universal at the same time, because everyone goes through these thing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eListen closely. It ll all make sense soon enough.
