A slight return

(4 out of 5 stars)

"One-man band Michael Johnson (aka Reclinerland) offers some of the best aspects of '80s folk-rock, while managing not to sound derivative. Catchy rhythms and infectious melodies are paired with lyrics that range from quirky to poignant. Fans of early REM, Camper van Beethoven, the Connells and Yo La Tengo will find this album a sort of homecoming, while proponents of more recent folk-pop and singer-songwriters will be amazed at the album's simple, heartfelt originality."

"I saw this cat play at Brownies in NYC, and it is great to see that there is still some talent out there. This album is a reminder that the essential soul of a singer/ songwriter comes from within. Reclinerland knows how to reach us all with their songwriting skills and a basic understanding of the human condition. Whelp, that's about it... thanks for reading my review... I love you. P.S. check out their website: reclinerlandhq.com Mike, come back to NY!"
