Call it the signature of a surfer so bleached by the sun that he rushes nothing, but To the Sea substitutes the sunset strum-alongs of his earliest records for a sleek daytime sheen that might glimmer too brightly for hippies but it makes for a better overall pop record.
-
Here's another set of strummy beachside ballads from the most successful surf bum in history.
-
A natural progression from 2008 release "Sleep Through the Static," the new set features more electric guitars and a brighter, full-band sound while still bringing plenty of singalong acoustic romanticism and breezy melodies.
-
Time and again, his choices are predictable, but it's comforting and hard not to like in its gently strummed affability.

MojoJohnson considers the world's woes with gentle reflection rather than recrimnation, along the way hoping to illuminate his son's path to finding his own truth. [July 2010]
-
Even at its loudest, there's nothing objectionable or earth shattering about To The Sea; but there doesn't really need to be.
-
Uncut"You And Your Heart" tries to kick out the jams, but in the most polite fashion imaginable. He's at his best on more familiar ground of the mid-tempo chug "Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology." [Aug 2010, p.84]

NickFJun 3, 2010Great album. JJ returns to his roots in a good way. Reminds me of his first album more so than his last one.
