Album Review: Jimi Goodwin - Odludek

Clicking play for the first time on Doves' singer Jimi Goodwin's debut is like opening the door to an old friend you haven't seen for a couple of years. A bit ramshackle and with a face full of fuzz, he's sounding a bit roughed-up since last you met. A discernible departure from his previous work – particularly the Goldfinger-esque horns of Man V Dingo, which stagger about like an alcoholic James Bond after a three-day vodka binge – Odludek finds Goodwin sounding like he's still getting to grips with managing on his own.
