To Get Home Before Night Comes

An easily-listenable set of songs that makes good use of soulful and laid back moods, impeccable wordplay and immaculate production. I don't think there was a bad moment in the entire 25 minutes - certainly made my commute to work this morning that bit better :)

First impressions were also very positive - within the first minute or so of "Danger Girl", I felt compelled to listen on and get drawn further into the music... I've got a collection of over 1,000 albums and, believe me, I've not heard many with that same quality! The songwriting and performance never dipped either, making it coherent but just diverse enough to maintain its grip on the listener (so full marks for the song selection!!)

The production I'd call "efficient": it's perfect for the sound and the music, neither drenched nor spartan, aiding the listener's enjoyment and increasing the chances they'll listen again.

A worthy download for anyone who enjoys the music of Jack Johnson, Sting, Stevie Wonder (his more jazzy stuff, circa 'Talking Book') and the summery vibe of latter-day Steely Dan.

Es gibt eine Kategorie von Musik, die ich immer liebvoll als "WDR2-tauglich" bezeichne. Damit dürfte schon geahnt werden in welche Kategorie dieser Kuenstler gehoert, aber wirklich, das ist liebevoll gemeint. Pop der sanften, schmeichelnden Art, der eingaengig ist, durchaus Tiefe hat wenns noetig ist und Steve Dunstons Stimme ist immerhin so markant, dass man sie durchaus im Kopf behaelt auch wenn man das Album durch hat. Und man legt es auch immer wieder gerne mal auf die Playlist...

I love this one so much. Can't stop listening to it.

Het album is ok lekkere sound.

I thought you outdone yourself with a great song like "California" but "Danger Girl" is awasome too. I gotta have this one too. AMAZING
