intro
Impressive first release in three years on new EP from Pennsylvanian solo artist Chris Hludzik
Chris Hludzik is an original musician from Northeastern Pennsylvania who has been writing songs for several years, and has been involved with many bands and projects, whether it has been performing, writing, engineering, mixing or even producing. His sound and writing covers many styles and genres of music and represents this diversity in his musical output. This is Chris Hludzik's first solo release in three years and his first EP in five years. ‘The Sky’s the Limit’ features his latest single ‘Fighting With Myself’ and includes three more tracks, all featuring Chris' unique perspectives on life and loss. The starter on here is the title track ‘The Sky's the Limit’, which has a sort of mellowed down Good Riddance type sound. On 'Fighting With Myself' he looks at himself and us trying to get along. “It’s all about the state of mind you’re in,” he sings Each of these tracks showcase Hludzik’s extraordinary adeptness with his guitar, and for me the pinnacle on this offering is ‘Autumn's Last Gasp’ which has some suitably melancholic strings in it and Hludzik venturing off on electric guitar. I’m not into instrumentals much but this is the next level. This little package is finished with the piano-driven ‘Put Away Past’. Everything here was written by Chris Hludzik and also produced and arranged by the man himself and Bryan Brophy,
