Mixing the fuzz of early-nineties industrial with the synthetic orchestration of the 80’s and the spirit of pop indie song writing, he draws on his experience form the Tripping Daisies to capture a very human sound. Between the chaos of these heavily synthesized arrangements we find little songs of longing, acoustic interludes that seem reminiscent of songs found on Beck’s Mellow Gold. An album of opposites, unapologetic in it’s honesty relentless in it’s drive. He sings words he has written out of necessity, a colorful barrage of poetic escapism and dirt and gravel realisms. He writes from the heart and though individually the songs that fill this album may very in quality and originality. The album has to be respected for it’s honesty and for it’s ambition. For the gloomy portraits it paints of a life that many of us may know to well. A life lived amidst the brick and stone of urban decay.
