2 out of 10
Despite the lovely artwork on the cover of this album, Canadian one-man band Nathaniel Sutton creates songs only his mother could really love. The scatter-gun approach to naming his musical likenesses from his PR says it all; Grandaddy? Sebadoh? White Lies? Foo Fighters? There's no mention of Eels or Jonathan Richman, which is odd, as they were the two names which came leaping from the speakers as soon as the title track dribbled its way effetely into the air. Unfortunately, Sutton has neither the mordant wit of the former, nor the gibbering charm and energy of he latter. He does have a great treatment for insomnia, however. Can you hear me, mother?
