midway to autumns by Demetris Soteriou

Το midway to autumns είναι η πρώτη επίσημη και ολοκληρωμένη δισκογραφική δουλειά του τραγουδοποιού. Τα τραγούδια φτιαχτήκαν στο μικρό στούντιο του Δημήτρη Σωτηρίου, στο σπίτι του στην Λευκωσία. Με ειλικρινά και ευαισθησία παρουσιάζει σεμνά τα τραγούδια του. Τα ακουστικά όργανα είναι το κύριο όχημα και με αυτά καταφέρνει να δημιουργήσει την ατμόσφαιρα που σου ανακοινώνει ο τίτλος. Το γλυκό, πικρό αλλά ταυτόχρονα και ρομαντικό συναίσθημα, είναι πρωταγωνιστικό. Τραγούδια που θα έβαζαν και στην επόμενη δισκογραφική τους δουλειά η Fleet foxes και ο Bon Iver.
