When the Storms Would Come

There's a little bit of everything on this offering, which is the musical collaboration of singer-songwriter Timothy Carroll and guitarist/composer Oscar Dawson.

What on first impression seems like it might be just a emotive, acoustic offering, develops into something much more.

An expansive and far-reaching offering, it keeps that emotive feeling while adding a harder, rockier edge to that first little taste.

The journey that this album takes you on is not a simplistic one, which makes the experience that much more enjoyable.

Clever lyrics that really get you thinking are the cherry on top of this one.

The best tracks are Sentimental And Monday, History, If I Were You, You Cannot Call for Love Like a Dog, Holy Gin and Pretty Strays for Lonely Lovers.

The album is released on Friday.
