Originally from the Kansas City area, Sinha is now working out of Seattle. Overall, the album is a folk rock album with the occasional country twang thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n<p>On many songs it sounds like Sinha has been taking singing lessons from Leigh Nash, the lead singer of Sixpence None the Richer. Regardless of how you feel about Sixpence though, <em>Our Past and Present Futures<\/em> is worth a listen for anyone who is a fan of folk or acoustic rock. Songs such as \u201cFollow You Down\u201d use a number of stringed instruments playing on top of each other in a way that can only be described as perfectly pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>While he may lack the depth of such artists as Sharon Van Etten or Joanna Newsom who use atmosphere and orchestration respectively to bring their songs to a new level, <em>Our Past and Present Futures <\/em>is a\u00a0successful, well-crafted creation from Sinha.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Sharon Van Etten, Sixpence None the Richer, Joanna Newsom<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks: 2( What You&#8217;re Given), 9 (Girl I Once Knew)<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Do Not Play: None<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by Zach Hill on 02\/02\/16 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A folk rock album worth a listen if not solely for the time and effort Sinha has put into it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12267,"featured_media":40979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,4,3235,3230,181],"tags":[2396,408,4190,4255],"class_list":["post-40978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-music","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-devin-sinha","tag-kansas-city","tag-our-past-and-present-futures","tag-zach-hill"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/sinha_pic_opt.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12267"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
