ev'ryday peeples. yikes. what a hit in the head. i was thrown, somewhat offhandedly, artificial junk: "hey nate, you'll like this guy". buy howdy. quirky - but not contrite, solid - but not straightforward, he done kept me listenin'. well lo and behold he's got another long play, this time one about people (the everyday kind). from bottom to top, left to right, a most solid and satisfying listen. this is the freshest stuff to come out of the midwest since , well it's damn fresh. you will not hear anything like this, but it will be lovingly familiar to you after one listen. the songs stick in your head (the good way) and you find yourself repeating your favorite tracks, then repeating the whole disk. songcraft, performance, recording, mastering all first rate. BUY THIS DISK NOW. OR ELSE.
