Labels: Song, By Toad Records
Review by: Ted Reynolds
Acoustic whimsy says the press release, and that’s pretty accurate. It’s not my style, he’s clearly quite the
guitar wizard, and he likes looping his own voice, I’m assuming all the ensemble backing are him. The whole
record sounds like it soundtracks a fairly bleak but ultimately uplifting, yet hard to stomach film about a
couple finding love, losing love, finding love again. It would probably be set in Edinburgh. He sings a bit like his mouth is full of cotton. Look, I don’t like it, but it’s clearly good, and if you were into things like Nick Drake, and as the press
release says, Elliot Smith, then you would be onto a winner.
