Little charmer of an LP that comes across like a stripped-down Shoes. One https://www.tradebit.com a band. Just him and a guitar for the most parting a lo-fi pop soundscape. Not one for the psychheads.

Even though the worst rhyme schemes ever make me feel embarrassed for this guy, it does have that innocent real people charm that other innocent real people crave.

Poppy, lo-fi Oakland SSW singing songs of love and big asses. Some nifty power-pop flourishes and a great cover of Sparky hopping afemnce, most likely on the hunt for tail.

Here’s a charming little pop album. 25 minutes of poppy melodies, acoustic guitars, simple arrangements and songs about gurls. The best song by miles and miles is the opening “Fall On Me” which has a lovely melody and some really cute-sounding fuzz guitar. It’s a triumph of low-budget recording and by comparison makes the Shoes or the Toms sound like they were recorded at Abbey Road. The rest of the album isn’t as fantastic, but it’s fun straight through and Sparky has a really nice voice. Recommended for pop fans and fans of real people who can actually sing and write.

Late seventies private press pop. Strangely affecting. Recommended
- Vinyl Vulture

Happy and relaxed, melodic and simple early afternoon sound
- Reflections of Tomorrow (Japan)

Simple and enjoyable, with sound collages and a refreshing sense of harmony.
- Add Some Music to Your Day (Japan)

This album clocks in at about 10 minutes a side, which makes it really more of an EP than a full length LP. With the exception of the fuzz-driven opener, “Fall On Me”, the harmony-laden songs are acoustic guitar-driven. It’s pleasant enough, but sometimes the simple rhyme schemes, some of which are repeated in different songs, begin to grate.
