Deliver Down

'Deliver Down' is the organic middle ground between solo-acoustic and a full band. Anker layers his acoustic guitar, a ukulele (and a bass on some tracks) to bring out the hooks and melodies. Although Anker is a solo-acoustic performer, this album gives him the chance to present his songs with more detail and fuller arrangements without getting lost in the noise of a band which would take away the charm of his acoustic roots. 'Deliver Down' received 3 nominations for the 2012 JERSEY ACOUSTIC MUSIC Awards: - Top Male Listening Room Act - Top New Male Act - Top Single/EP Release (for the song 'I & You') ON THE RAILS was reviewed on Soundout.com: - Great intro for a great song along with wonderful vocals. Delightful lyrics to go along with a great melody and beat. Vocals are wonderful and it's a fun and inspirational piece of music. - Exactly the kind of music that is starting to breakthrough into the popular music scene lead by bands such as Mumford And Sons. Folk is becoming very popular with nice pure vocals. The song is one in touch with it's roots. - This song is very Bob Dylan sounding - from the voice down to the song composition. This song has great organization. It starts off great, and throughout the progression of the song, escalates in energy. His lyrics are well-written. I don't see this song having any commercial success, merely because of the times, but I think it can and will do well in the underground folk/indie scene. A DIFFERENT MOON was reviewed on Soundout.com - Great opening! The guitar sets a perfect mood with a great voice which pair with the sounds coming from well played instruments. This has a nice feel from the beginning. - The melodies are tuneful, especially the sound of the guitar playing which has the right emotion and a good execution considering the genre. The quality of the interpretation gives it a resemblance to some classic songs. - The melody is simple just like the song. I love it. It has a nice sentiment & a nice beat to it. I absolutely love it and would not mind hearing more.
