I would say this is more of a background music version of Boards of Canada, with guitars, and more of a jazz feel. The tempo is mellow, yet beautiful. A very seasonal feeling to this record, with a strong soundtrack vibe to it. Not exactly cinematic really, but a soundtrack to really beautiful powerful independent film. A lot of natural sounds like birds chirping, the waves of the ocean, someone walking on a pier, they all make up the environment of this record, while the quiet guitar drives the melody. And like the Khonnor album I ‘reviewed’ above, this is also from a bright young kid, and this one being his first release since leaving Berklee College of Music here in Boston. Dont worry kid, one day you’ll have the musical integrity of Britney Spears.

“a protracted sunset of an album guaranteed to see you through the longest days of summer and into the twilight of the autumn. Gently counterpoised piano and guitar lines haunt each other against a glimmering background of electronic tones while subtly measured beats come and go so discreetly you’ll wonder if they were ever there to begin with. A thoroughly artificial piece of pastoral from start to finish, it’s also a reminded that the sun passes by this way only once a day. Enjoy it while you can.” – The Wire
