    Slow Gum is a promising beginning.

    It all starts to falter a little when the songs start to bleed into each other’s comforting, sunshine-peaking-through-gossamer textures--a change of pace wouldn’t have gone amiss.

    Derivative Gorman may be, but he’s also confident and distinctive with it.

    It all feels a bit too calculated at times, though when he ventures into the realms of floral Kinks-y psych pop on 'Mystic Mile' or the slack Beach-Boys-via-Mac-Demarco style surf of 'Never Gonna Hold You Like I Do', there's a promising glimmer of the discrete and intrepid artist he could be.
