‘DEMO OF THE WEEK’ featured review: 4/5 stars

“A UK listener recommended I get in touch,” says New Jersey-based Ferraro. Thanks to whoever gave us props, as this is blimmin’ ace.

Traditional summery melodies whose lineage can be traced back from Ben Kweller via The Shins to Evan Dando, it’s surprising that Ferraro hasn’t yet been picked up on by a British label.

Music this sweet is universal.
