Album Review: We Are Catchers - We Are Catchers

Influenced by Californian '60s folk-pop (The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Love, etc), but hailing from terminally grey, rain-smeared Liverpool, England, Peter “We Are Catchers” Jackson is a tad gloomier than other acts of his pedigree. Relying on a heavily reverbed piano rather than guitar, his chords crash like the ocean and recede like fading summer memories. It's almost as if he's having the sun torn away from him, leaving nothing but Beach Boy chords to warm his bones. A young act with some developing to do, but also some promise.
