T: Although the artist himself describes his music as “a little bit early Dylan, a little bit Jeff Mangum and a little bit Lou Barlow”, I have to say that the one comparison that sprung instantly to my mind as the opening track began was that of Frank Black’s work with the Catholics. I can also tell, by my new found psychic talents, that I agree with the reference you’re about to make too…

N: Possessing a tinge of the Lemonheads by the opening track, that sort of college rock field spirit can be seen here. By the time we hit “Baby Brother”, track two, this pace knocks off to a confident and more insightful one. Certainly for older listeners, and I can certainly see student bedsits being filled with Mike’s melodies and vocal strains. 8/10
