CD Reviews

Beautifully melodic, though the words don't always match the
Sam Kigelman | 06/20/2007

"I'd first reviewed this CD for the college radio station, and since then the music's been on my mind. It's rare that a voice comes along that seemingly flows through the air smoother than a river over rocks. The power of the singer's voice is enough to jerk me out of everyday life and into whatever wonder this band is able to create with their music.

The third song, Advice for Young Mothers to be, makes me weep every time I hear it. The reason for this is the words go along with the melody, unlike half the songs on the CD, and the song touches on a subject male singers rarely touch on - pregnancy.

The song does it effectively, not targeting people like a lot of modern music seems to, but simply putting the spotlight on young pregnant women, trying to cheer them on and enter their shoes.

The harmonics of this song are very easy to follow, and one's mind trails along with the music for every note of it. "Bloody marvelous."

These guys deserve much more spotlight than they've been given. Nice freaking job!"

"I bought this album and took it along on my iPod this summer and hardly listened to it. Now I'm back in New York, and I can't live without it. Just saw his acoustic cover of Bruce Springsteen's "State Trooper" on YouTube, and finally understood."
