An engagingly nice and upbeat 3-song serving of tight’n'tuneful singer-songwriter folk-pop done with a winning surplus of delicate melodicism and low-key thoughtfulness. Mike Ferraro’s endearingly slight and nasal vocals radiate an utterly likeable blend of laidback charm and delicate wide-open sensitivity. The sweetly harmonic arrangements, tastefully filled out by gently strummed acoustic guitar, cool rippin’ Casio keyboards, and subdued, yet steady drums, really hit the soothing sonic spot with dead-on sonority and accuracy. Possessing all the warmth and appeal of a fine fall day, this nifty little item sizes up as a disarmingly modest, but surefire winner.
