Connecticut’s Autumns Eyes is at it again with the new, all-instrumental album Broken Leaves and Haunted Streets. As always, this one-man band, the brain-child of Dan Mitchell, focuses on all things scary, creepy and downright frightening. Broken Leaves and Haunted Streetsconsists of songs Mitchell first conjured from his nightmares in the early days of Autumns Eyes and he’s decided it’s time for them to be released on an unsuspecting public. I’m certainly glad he did, because this stuff is damn good. Creating an instrumental song that captures a listener’s attention and keeps it for 3-4 minutes is one thing, but you’ll be wondering where all 13 minutes and 46 seconds of “Lucid Empathy” went when it is over.
