    Just brilliant album. Only one mistep My Portfolio which really should have been left off the album. Apart from that definitely the right combination of soundscapes, melody and often personal lyrics. His voice is also in fine form.

    Despite its occasional uneven moments, Boy from Michigan is a frequently brilliant album from a gifted stylist and songwriter who never stops challenging himself or his audience.

    It just may not be an album for beginners, or for those not patient enough to enjoy its subtle rewards.

    Boy from Michigan doesn’t quite stick the landing as Grant forgoes his customary high-wire balance of wit and wry emotion for a more direct style. But it’s rich in bittersweet beauty and surreal levity.
