i stole this album from eric, well not really from eric, but from the artist, not to be confused with the Artist, fka Prince. i'm glad i did, because it's a damn good album with sparks of some originality. it's hard to pin down a consistent influence here - but it's a bit indie, a bit Yes, and other general folk pop - neil young even. oh, right, i got this from eric. this is all big star. "turn a square" could easily be a big star song. does alex chilton play on this track? i dunno, i don't have liner notes, i stole the mp3s, remember?
the guitars are either acoustic or straight through and undistorted, with quite a few pop hooks layered in on top. a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll, but definitely sweet as candy.
