i figured out the prob i have with steve spacek while listening to his album again - much as i like the music (although even that could do with a *bit* of punchiness every now and then - it can err a bit on the side of too tasteful), his voice is just too feathery and light (he reminds me of the guy from hot chip in that respect). it doesnt help that he records it so intimately/sings so softly and doesnt really do songs with strong melodies either - the closest this album gets to a 'normal' song is look into my eyes, which oddly sounds a bit out of place as its such a change from all the minimalism on this (also a bit of a MOR song, sounds like some weird sort of 'nice' winebar soul). apparently the black pocket album is all instrumental though, which could be interesting.

if you read carefully dear deej, i said he reminds of me the guy from HC in the way his voice is a bit too light/quivery/diffident at times to really give his stuff gravitas.
