Excellent debut solo record from the former Let's Active mastermind. Of course, the sound quality is killer, considering it was recorded in his own studio. Power pop with cool guitar licks throughout makes this a consistently rewarding listen. "Time Warping," "Dusky Lair," and "Why is it so Hard?" are my favorites here. But this record is bursting at the seams with great songs. Go get this release and put it between your Dumptruck and Tommy Keene CD's. It will slide in perfectly.

And honestly, is … Read more
