Jayway has been writing & performing songs for the last 25+ years. Mostly for his own entertainment. It helps to be a little narcissistic when listening to your own voice over and over again on the car stereo.
While being known more for his kid's music (Jasongs, "Brain Jam"), this album represents his more personal efforts. Songs that evoke memories of years gone by. Some cryptic, some obvious, but all interesting.
Musically, this is an attempt to capture the essence of Paul McCartney's"Ram". Although the influence may leak through here, there was no attempt to sound like him. (Not unlike Badfinger.) But rather to make an album where all the songs are completely different from each other but somehow seem to gel together just right.

I LOVED IT!
author: Justin Medina
My favorites were "Yellow Sleep" and "Mystery Moon". The harmonies are great..."Ahhhh, mystery moon." This album is somewhat Beatlesque in nature too. I also appreciated the tribute to Depeche Mode in "Bash Boom". Very entertaining.

Semigloss Picnic is extremely well produced, exactly what I'd expect from a true Beatle fan. The layered vocals stand out as an obvious fab four influence, especially from Rubber Soul, Revolver and Abbey Road. Great variety of material, and suitably quirky for those of us who are slightly toasted.
