sweet english weirdness
author: mistra breaks
almost nick-drakey acoustic then strings pop up and beats kick in ... gets experimental at times and just pure pop rush of noise at others. produced on acid and sung while stoned ... a fun journey. hard to describe but suck it and see!

i love DAYBREAKER. chris's voice is cool and the words paint pictures. the sound is pretty and quite sixties at times - MY HONEST FRIEND almost sounds like the stones or something. or JET! ha. but then check out INDIAN SUMMER! love the SLEEP song (rios tropicales). SLEEP DEEP AND SWEET!!!
check it out!

Contemporary classic from brit-pop unknown newbie
author: The Mountain Underground Times
A refreshing, off-kilter release that ranges from classic rock (My Honest Friend) to techno workout (Indian Summers) to backwards ballads recalling early Stone Roses (Simple). Not every song is knocked out of the park but pretty close and there is a charm in some of the more lo-fi, simple moments and swirly production. And when he's right on ... such as on the sublime opener or pretty closer, Daybreaker is out of this world. More acoustic next time, please!
Note - this is the third Daybreaker release but the early self-released stuff is hard to track down ...
5 Stars
