Pre-Inventory is the cleverly-titled, limited-to-100 precursor
to Brian Michael Roff & The Deer's album, Inventory.
Containing two tracks from the album and one exclusive number
("The Best is Yet To Come"), this offers a nice taste to get
you geared up for the upcoming release. Americana is probably a
good word to describe the sound, as this is country-tailored folk-rock
not too far away from the Anomoanon camp of things. There
is a hearty optimism in these three songs, from the uplifting guitar
strokes of "This Yellowed Yield" to the relaxing quietude of
"The Best is Yet To Come." The whole disc carries a
certain warmness that really gives it a personal touch. The
melodies take awhile to sink in, but they are there - while this isn't
a record you'll necessarily be humming over and over again, it does
compel you to keep it playing. Overall, this is a good taste;
unless you really want the exclusive track from this disc, though,
you'd be better off going for the entire Inventory album.
