It is both appropriate and a shame that this album came out on Valentine's Day. Thomas' latest is so bursting at the seams with affection that songs like the fantastically cheery "Over The Moon" are exactly the kind of tunes that induce that ear-to-throat gag reflex in those averse to V-Day. For those not afraid for a little love and hope in their indie, give the tender "2 Birds" and pretty, shuffling blend of tattered drums, organ, and guitar "Where Was I" a shot and see how quickly the album wins you over. Thomas' crisp, welcoming vocals are right at home in the lush comforts of the mellow backing of the album, as on the heartbroken ballad "Two Worlds Collide".
Seek: "Where Was I", "Over The Moon", "2 Birds"
