Synopsis

Album Description
"Smolla's songs are rarely obviously linear, though opener "Fields Of Hope" does swing with a nagging, old skool rock'n'roll feel and a joyous horn arrangement. Other tracks, meanwhile, often veer off at unlikely tangents. "Patterns," for instance, kicks in with skittering breakbeats and a sonic stance not dissimilar to Beck circa "Odelay", while the ensuing "Swimming In Wind" itself reminds strongly of Jay Farrar (circa Uncle Tupelo's acoustic spell), with a distinct downhome feel and Dan taking his time in bringing on the chorus."--T.
