On first listen to the album's beginning, "Fragile Mind", the first person to come to mind is Devendra Banhart. However, as the album unfolds, it quickly becomes obvious that Tom is his own man, with a diverse range of influences. He has this gorgeous, rich voice that trembles with gentle emotion and yearning. Songs of sadness and change float by as he works his spell through the speakers. This is a compilation of recordings made at different times in Tom's life and this breadth of experience is definitely reflected in the music. An intriguing new talent.
