Album Review: Hayden Calnin - Oh, Hunter

The typical woodland creatures artwork and acoustic guitar-totin' photos of the artist might lead to thinking he's just another of those folkie boys so extant of late. But there's more going on than that. Often built on rich – although homemade – electronic beds, it somehow remains human. In different places it might resemble early Peter Gabriel, or in I Corrupt's layers and falsetto perhaps even nods to Antony Hegarty's wordless emotions. But as Forever A Traveller floats by, there's something in his voices and the music in which he cradles them that can be arresting.
