One word. Excellent.

This debut disc was released in December of 2004, earning the 22-year old a smattering of local nominations for songwriter of the year. I have had it in my possession for the last three months or so but never got around to listening to it until this week. Adams has since released no new recordings that I can find but is still performing (edit: coming to Nashville 7/13 - I am there). Listening to the disc, you get the impression that Adams plays all the instruments (edit: I find this to be true, after researching further) and the production is excellent. From start to finish, this album soars across sonic landscapes fashioned with multiple guitars, self-harmonizing, and string accompaniments. "I Evolve" and "When The Morning Dies" are excellent early tracks, while "More Than You Know" is a mid-album instrumental with Mogwai-like textures. I find this disc to be fascinating after two listens and an excellent addition to the 2004 releases that was likely overlooked at the time.

Reccomended for fans of Andrew Bird and David Garza. Available on emusic.

First listen rating: 87
