Fionn Regan slides his hooks in effortlessly, and in just the right places. Soft, lovely tunes- excellent to listen to on an airplane. This is his first full-length release. He's from Ireland, living now in England. His sound calls to mind Bright Eyes, but with much less angst. Actually, more like Kings of Convenience, but without the harmony. Check out the video for the single "Be Good or Be Gone" on YouTube. -Reviewed by OliveREGINA SPEKTOR
