MojoThis may sound wilfully eclectic but actually hangs together, bound by May's showman-like vocals. [Mar 2009, p.109]
-
What The Good Feeling lacks in variation it makes up for with clever turns of phrase and simple, contagious melodies.
-
Definitely track down 'Meet Me in the Garden' as it stands head and shoulders above the rest of the album, but give the rest a chance too.
-
Under The RadarDent May announces his entry into the high school talent contest that is the world of literate, quirky pop. And, with its mix of equal parts Jens Lekman, Jonathan Richman, and Clem Snide and with hints of everyone from The Beach Boys to Joe Jackson, Feel Good Music is a worthy submission. [Winter 2009]
-
With that image and, indeed, package, May will no doubt divide opinion and make certain people sick of him just by his very look and reflective genre, but to anyone with time to spend and ears to analyse he will be a speccy hero; a champion of triumphant performance irrespective of that well-practised image.

samgFeb 12, 2009This record grows over time. "Meet Me in the Garden" might be the best track, but the others you have to spent time with.
