Review from NamelessArt.com
Have you ever wanted to get up and release an array of awkward sounds and then sit back down quietly? This Musician in england does that for me. Though his music is far from an awkward array of sounds, the lyrics and guitair are clean and simple and frank. Sarcasm that isn't dissaffected, affection that isn't sappy. more apt descriptives that come to mind are: Sincere, Touching & Darkly Humored, though as most things I find intriguing, descriptions only graze what is being described. If you like story telling songs and music that will most likely make you smile- check him out.
