    His songs evoke Van Morrison, Tim Buckley, and Springsteen without descending into pastiche. [17 Mar 2006, p.114]

    It's only a matter of time before [this album] replaces Ray Lamontagne's "Trouble" as the best album Van Morrison never made.

    If Dunger is trying to shed the [Van Morrison] comparison, Here's My Song won't help matters. [#71, p.94]
  4. Mercury Rev... mostly eschew their distinctive brand of chamber pop, scaling back the saturated psychedelic orchestral flourishes for something a bit more terrestrial. In doing so they’ve fashioned the perfect complement to Dunger’s emotional voice and poignant songs of love lost.
  5. Paste Magazine

    The mellower arrangements are impeccable and classy. [Apr/May 2006, p.101]
  6. The New York Times

    Mr. Dunger's relentless introspection isn't for every mood; it could certainly be tough on a romance. But "Here's My Song" is just the album for a good wallow in yearning and obsession. [13 Mar 2006]
  7. Unlike Dunger's previous albums, which tended to have a specific musical theme, there's a kind of scattered, everywhere at once quality to Here's My Song.

    Pretty cool cd if your into the Jamie Lidell or Beck scene.
