This came out in 2003 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
The title track is supposed to be about unrequited love — but Danny Michel could just as easily be talking about his career on Tales From The Invisible Man.
For the past half-dozen years, the Ontario singer-songwriter has been one of the finest Canadian artists you’ve never heard, quietly issuing superb albums of gloriously constructed indie-pop into an uncaring world. With any luck, this fifth beguiling full-length will finally turn the tide. Offering precisely an hour of winsome melody, crunchy pop hooks, smart lyrics, singalong choruses and traces of Neil Young, Tom Waits, Hawksley Workman and Paul Westerberg, these dozen slices of basement-studio alchemy will leave you marvelling — at both his impressive talent and his inexplicable lack of visibility.
