Review: Rainn Byrns looks so fresh faced and young that one suspects his parents don't remember the 1960s, let alone him. Nevertheless, the decade has clearly a big influence on this Texas-born, Swindon-bred South Londoner's music, although within that there still remains quite a lot of scope for variety. 'I'm Her Man' echoes the battered but innocent psyche of Syd-era Floyd, 'Never Ending Story' the strut and swagger of The Doors and then the approachable weirdness of late Beatles, and everything from The Byrds to Simon & Garfunkel crops up elsewhere. There's nothing cynical or engineered about that though, it seems entirely natural and Byrns proves himself both capable of penning a memorable melody but also delivering it in an endearingly stoned Southern drawl. 'Tailspin', which reminds us of The LAs at their jangly finest, was our favourite entry point, but there are loads here and lots to like.
