SONG LYRICS SHEET: bit.ly/3XwCbCp

Massachusetts based David MacDonald is something of a modern day jangle-pop anomaly.

Not for him the current vogue of wearing the influences of just about every 80s anglo-indie-pop act that ever released for Sarah Records upon his sleeve, before releasing his music on Spotify and Bandcamp for the hordes of oldies like me who will likely revel in such jangly fragility.

No, that's not for him, as he drifts his sound a few years forward and digs into a more 90s based jangly muscularity to connect us with his sound.

As such we are treated to tracks best represented Sail Away, Tell me What I Feel and Even After which dangle the dulcet, slightly slacker-pop essences and guitar-pop melodies of Evan Dando/The Lemonheads before us, whilst always pulling any sense of 'cutesy accessibility' from us courtesy of the modern propensity for perfect, bedroom studio under-production.

A similar sense of dulcet is experienced in the beauty of Peace of Mind and Secret. These tracks offer a R.E.M. "The One I Love" sense of 'call into the dark' cavernous, plaintive chime that no-one has really been able to replicate until now.

Occasionally MacDonald strides beyond his beautiful mid-tempo with the glorious power-pop effect of Blue Tomorrow and Between The Lines taking to a place somewhere between traditional power-pop and the jangly crunch of Velvet Crush to course a sense of energy through the general sense of melodic.

This release includes the vast majority of music so far with Subjangle adding him to their roster to give a well deserved physical format release.
