Rolling bass, washes of strings, skitterey drums and then, over top: Sullivan's unstoppable voice. This is singer-songwriter music with a little muscle. This guy could have been a blues shouter if he'd wanted, but instead he makes lush, effortless, folk-flecked pop rock; Nick Drake without the wispy wistfulness, Van Morrison without all the overexertion. There's nothing altogether original here, nothing that will move you to to tears, but its a hearty soundtrack for dark, lonely nights 3.5/5
