Pleasant stuff; kind of reminds me of a cross between Judie Tzuke and Suzanne Vega, though I'm sure there are more appropriate comparisons that could be made. “Lies of Summer” is a nice song, catches my attention as being a little special. Very pleasant piano underpinning “Patient Zero”, almost a Bruce Hornsby feel to it in a way. “Philly Sinks” has a very Joni Mitchell vibeto it, but overall I'd say this is really just an album to have on in the background, to relax to, but there's not really too much to say about it in a review, even a short one like this. I mean, it's not likely to make me suddenly a fan or anything, but it's a decent record.
