Reviewed 2017-01-26
Lyricist and smooth singer songwriter with ties to SF's sadcore pioneers American Music Club continues to explore the world of the bereft, the the dried up and the alone. Think a mellower Morrissey with a bit more melody. Backed by synths and layered acoustic guitars, occasional electric guitar.
No FCCs All these songs are slow or medium tempo.

1. The Last Ten Years - most upbeat of the lot
2. An Answer - about dancing and thinking - cold
3. The Road - cold start -false end, fade
4. Nothing And Everything - violence in love fade
5. An Angel's Wing Brushed The Pennyslots - fade
6. In My Role As Professional Singer And Ham cold
7. Mr Humphries - waltz about the dying actor
8. La Llorona - the word "faggot" in chorus-fade
9. Just Because - more orchestral
10. Let Me Go - cold
11. Sleep From My Eyes - cold start
