Now then. Here's something to comfort and soothe you on this fractious Wednesday evening (and it's more fractious than a toddler without Kia-ora and no Tweenies on the telly). Dent May. thegeneral thinks very highly of Dent May. If you've never come across him before then now is the time to give his lovely music a try.
His new album "Warm Blanket" came out on 2nd September and if you'd like to give the whole thing a listen before you commit to buy, head on over to Spotify and stack it up.
You can also check out his website here: dentmay.com/ and have a look at his previous stuff. thegeneral highly recommends his tracks "Howard" and "God Loves You, Michael Chang".
Dent's music is so warm, so friendly and so easy to listen to. One of his previous songs from an album called "Do Things" is called "Best Friend" and you feel, in listening to him you ARE making a new friend.
But back to the new album.
If you like laid back, chilled out pop with just a smidge of pathos, then this is the album for you. If you don't, then fuck off and find something else. "Born Too Late" is a complete delight and is the stand-out track. "Born too late to tell you I love you, baby, but I want you to know I've been thinking about you lately", it's upbeat, yet wistful and sentimental without being vomit inducing. The same can be said of "Ready To Be Old" too. It's got a really good feel to it, slow and warming.
It's rare you can say you have an album and there isn't a duff track on it. This is one of those rare occasions. Dent May will make you feel happy and content. That's all you need to know.
