Album Review: Dent May - Warm Blanket

Dent May's third album keeps walking along the same well-worn path he's been treading for the last few years: Breezy, light pop songs that smell of summer and scream Beach Boys tragic, like in the warped Wouldn't It Be Nice melody of It Takes A Long Time. May specialises in making romantic banalities cute and bop-along danceable. Jittery piano riffs and handclaps abound on Born Too Late, and the tempo is slowed with acoustic guitar at the forefront on Endlessly. Sweet, not entirely memorable but never saccharine, Warm Blanket lives up to its title.
