    First listen, his vocals stuck out. Is that Steve Miller? Once I got past the Book of Dreams analogy, I was hooked. I was thinking two guitar tracks on first listen, but he pulls off both lines simultaneously. Saw it live. Interesting. With all the reverb/distortion, it?s sometimes difficult to pick anything out.

    Thanks to fresh melodies, a surprisingly effective voice, ever powerful rhythms, and burning guitar/bass workouts, Jason Loewenstein has coined a voice of his own.

    With this mostly impressive album, Loewenstein has stepped out from behind Sebadoh founder Lou Barlow's shadow to prove he's a powerful songwriter and player in his own right.
