Shine Honesty Explained
Shine Honesty is the first studio album by the band Quiet Company released on March 20, 2006, by Northern Records of Los Angeles California. The album is a piano rock driven effort recorded in majority by frontman Taylor Muse.
The Dallas Observer wrote of Shine Honesty: "Quiet Company's somber and seductive piano-driven rock rekindles Harvest-era Neil Young, similar to Band of Horses. The Austin trio's debut record, Shine Honesty, does just that as front man Taylor Muse's spiritual convictions heighten the emotional intensity of his deeply personal lyricism."[1]
