Album Review

Reviewed 2004-06-15
One-man-band (with occasional help) plays melodic guitar rock in a home studio; the songs are simply arranged but melodically solid; the production is clean – the sound is neither lo-fi nor is it overdubbed to within an inch of its life. Most songs are quite pleasant though nothing is insanely sing-along-catchy.

1. Short guitar intro
2. Catchy and simple
3. Annoyingly sugary
4. Moody and mellow
5. Lovely minor key riff
6. Delicate percussion, vox, guitar
7. Interlude on processed guitar
8. Slightly bouncy
9. Pleasant but unmemorable
10. Nicely whispered/sung/apologized
11. Bland instrumental
12. Self-consciously “edgy”
