This is a superb offering from an artist I'm convinced will have real staying power. Melodic, beautifully played & sung without being maudlin, a treat for the ears. Most hightly recommended!

I've owned this album for a few months now and I keep coming back to it again and again. The songs have a timeless quality to them that's difficult to explain. Favourites are 'The Lift', 'Everyday and Always' and 'Idiot'. Buy this CD and try and catch a live show if possible, great performer and band.

Imagine the weightless, anthemic quality of Coldplay combined with the earthiness and grit of Ray Lamontagne. OK. Now you’re primed for Gavin Thorpe, a UK folk/Britpop artist with an immediately endearing and emotive voice and a leaning towards lyrical melodicism. Whether exploring decimated emotional landscapes similar to Damien Rice or kicking out the bombastic, heart-on-sleeve jams ala David Gray, Gavin Thorpe keeps all connections open, to his soul, and to your heart. He has struck that difficult balance between brave self expression and sensible pop restraint.
