    His writing has the kind of laconic detail and precision of a Paul Simon or Loudon Wainwright.

    Arts & Leisure is so easygoing that it's easy to underestimate, but it reveals Martin as a first-rate storyteller who captures the joys of new sights and new ways of thinking in songs full of life and humor.

    On Arts, Martin further uncorks and refines his own voice--one that's largely honest, curious, humorous, and relatable--to share his unique view of the world.

    There’s a lovely tongue-in-cheek quality to a lot of the songs, the minimal production implicitly telling you not to take the proceedings to seriously. It evokes the feeling of heading to a bar, running into an old college friend and catching up over beers about the past.

    Martin is no longer writing songs for kids, but Arts & Leisure is educational, earnest and wry in equal bursts.
