RFC Thinks You Should Know...Patrick Park

I feel like it is safe to say that we all have our so-called “guilty pleasures”.  It could be a musician  that you don’t necessarily like to admit to listening to, or a game of some sort maybe, or if you’re Amber Valentine, it’s booze!  While I am a big fan of awful music, games, and booze, my guilty pleasure comes in the form of a television series by the name of The OC.  For those of you don’t know, The OC was one of those awful teen dramas that Fox airs every so often.  Although the show ended a few years ago, I still absolutely love it.  How much, you ask?  Let’s just say that I have all four seasons on DVD and a couple of posters still on my walls.  All of my sickening obsessions aside, The OC had more to offer than just a riveting story line and a bunch of good looking actors.  The OC Soundtracks (which I HIGHLY recommend downloading) are awesome, to say the least and they introduced me to a whole new variety of musicians including a Mr. Patrick Park.

Patrick Park - Something Pretty

Upon listening to The OC: Mix 2, I was immediately drawn to a song called “Something Pretty”.  This particular song was actually used in one of my favorite episodes of the show, "The Telenovela" during one of my favorite OC moments, which just makes that much more awesome.  It’s also a really good song if you’ve never seen the show, but that’s besides the point.  Anyways, I loved this song so much that I quickly decided that I needed to check out this Patrick Park fellow and I’m extremely happy that I made that choice.  His upbeat brand of acoustic/folk music is something that any music lover can appreciate.  Even my mom likes it and she doesn’t like anything that I make her listen to!

Park’s album Loneliness Knows My Name has quickly become one of my favorite albums ever.  There really isn’t anything about it that I do not love.  The lyrics and vocals are inherently amazing on every single track and, as you may or may not know, that’s hard to find when it comes to music.  In all seriousness though, Patrick Park is the artist that I choose when I want to listen to something that will relax me as well as consume me with outstandingly beautiful lyrics and a voice that makes me go weak in the knees.  Did I mention that he’s also a pretty attractive dude?  Cause he totally is.  I’m not sure how much of a difference that really makes to most people, but I know I like when good-looking dudes sing at me!

Patrick Park has quickly become one of my absolute favorite musicians and he definitely deserves that title.  He is a fantastic musician in every way and should be recognized as such.  His most recent release, Come What Will, proves that as his music career progresses, so does he.  I have a lot of love for everything that Park does and I am very much looking forward to hearing what he comes up with in the future.

I'm glad you agree, Dave. The OC soundtracks introduced me to a lot of great music such as The Perishers and Joseph Arthur as well. Even if you're not a fan of the show, you cannot deny that the music selection is amazing.

And those OC soundtracks also introduced me to Alexi Murdoch. And wow, his stuff is also fantastic and if you like Patrick Park, you'll might like him, too, for the same reasons. Go check him out.
