Ironic that you RILY Matt Nathanson and this guy has a song called Car Crash. That might be one of my favorite Matt Nathanson songs.

definitely digging this.

it's in most targets now for 9.99 in the breaking artists section.

Just because Snow Patrol has a keyboardist doesn't make them piano pop... Just my opinion.

The artist's name makes me think of the song "Faust Arp" by Radiohead. The opening lyrics are "Wakey, wakey. Rise and shine. It's on again, off again, on again..."

Saw this on HypeM, really dig his music.

Enjoying this a lot. Thanks for the rec.

Though I'd rate the vocals higher...

Yeah, I probably should have made them higher. They're pretty much pitch-perfect.

i bought this when i read the review, and then also the War Sweater EP. so good, gorgeous musicianship, a wonderful addition to the collection especially as i've been listening to less guitar-led stuff recently

Good review. Checked out his songs on Myspace and immediately got the cd on iTunes.

Some other good piano-rock bands worth checking out are: The midway state, Until June, Dikta, The Reign Of Kindo, and Lost Ocean

Thanks for that. Never heard of Dikta or Lost Ocean, so thanks.

This is pretty good. Oh, and please, people, check out Parachute Musical. Rarely hear anything about them, even though 'Everything is Working Out Fine in Some Town' is probably one of the catchiest albums I've ever heard and has some of the best pop vocals in quite a while.
