Synopsis
Product Description The second album from Lawrence Arabia, aka New Zealander James Milne, seems entirely out of place on a frosty January release schedule, and not just because of the exotic stage name. It has all the sunny charm, and breezy ephemerality, of a late-August afternoon. As most of the songs prove, especially 'Apple Pie Bed', Milne can spin out catchy melodies without breaking a sweat. These delicate guitar-pop numbers infused with Sixties nostalgia and dashes of wry humour are agreeable, but they feel slight. When summer finally hits, there's a danger that Chant Darling will have fluttered away in the breeze. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsGreat Songwriting! J. Urmson | Eustis, FL USA | 08/01/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you enjoy classic pop songwriting with strong melodies and a little power pop, then this album is for you! The production and harmonies are stellar. There is a wistfulness and carefree feeling to the music that is missing from a lot of bands today. Songs like "Look Like a Fool", "Apple Pie Bed",and "The Beautiful Young Crew" are a wonderful addition to any Ipod, but the whole album is just as good. Hopefully this album will find an audience somewhere along the road. They are currently opening for the wonderful band Crowded House."
