This was championed by Zane Lowe on Radio one for ages. The track 'Oxygen' recieved a lot of air play and developed a cult following. This is a brilliant album by a dangerously young man (20). The album is mature way beyond his years and covers a range of issues from ADD to world politics to homelessness.
Most of it is done in a pretty old school folk way. It reminds me greatly of protest songs in some respects. A refreshing representation of teenage angst. There are also a couple of more upbeat songs ('So Long') which sounds a bit like Badly Drawn Boy - these will no doubt be released.
What impressed me most about the album was the lyrics - hes been compared to Dylan. It's also brave to release an album like this in a climate filled with corporate metal and overproduced pop in the mainstream.
I really hope this album does well, it deserves to - it will restore my faith in the record buying public.
