Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled by the quirky alternative radio hit 'Balloon Man', the eccentric British songwriter achieved brief but notable mainstream college-rock exposure. The surreal, Syd Barrett-inspired lyricism is matched by shimmering, jangle-pop guitar hooks, demonstrating his unique mastery of brilliantly off-kilter, psychedelic pop music.
