Not bad but I think I would have liked it more without vocals. He sounds like me mumble singing to myself walking to the car or something

Interesting stuff, reminds me a bit of nick drakes early work

Not half bad! A precursor to soft folk rock singer songwriters like Jack Johnson and Citizen Cope. Something I could see myself coming back to.

Delightful. Flows beautifully between singing and playing. The guitar is the right amount of percussive. Martyn's voice is unique and captivating and like another instrument.

Surprisingly great folk album with some psychedelic elements

This had potential but kinda blew it. The first song was great - like some weird acoustic soul-ish number with great lil melodies and whatnot - but then it became more by-the-numbers SAME OL' FOLK ROCK in other songs. There were a few other tracks that tried to capture the same essence as the title track, but none really got up there, and I hate folk rock. Without the first song this album would be a 2, but with it, it's a 3/5.

Whattawow

Good album…. Bit funkier and 70s sounding that I expected. Probably revisit!
