Review:
Folkie with a punk background, James O-L brings lyrical element from his background to super laid back, almost sloppy folk/roots. Love the clarinet sound on the opening track. Track 5 (SK8 or Die) is almost Dylan-esque, with understated punky drumming. Last track is awesome in a really weird way. Ambient chatter recorded live at a restaurant or something, with electronic drumbeat and barely-audible bassline, with spanish-influenced guitar. Weird and good.
