Don't worry Mercury, I'm another lover.

I don't think the album is ever trying to be something it isn't, and I think it whole-heartedly embraces it's influences rather than feeling like it's plagiarizing them. But I still think Tallest Man still has a unique sound, his open chord guitar picking is distinctly plinky and really good fun, and only he could make something like Kids On The Run sound so ballsy. It's short length really works in it's favour, it's never trying to be anything other than pleasant, it's just a focused collection of, as far as I'm concerned, flawless pop-folk songs. If you're listening to it disappointed that it's not enough of a roller coaster ride of innovation, then I think you have the wrong mindset to enjoy it. This album is the 'Is This It' of contemporary folk.


Except I like it.

Okay, I must say I just felt a boost of love for you, Gowie. Sorry about some of the annoying or mean things I have said.


Indie folk is great, yo. Hell, dude might be in my top five of the modern "indie folk" songwriter spell for me.

Nothing that amazing, but it's a nice listen from time to time.
