Has anyone heard this album, or anything by this Devin Davis character? The PFM review makes it sound interesting:

yeah, i saw him in january and believe that he wasn't too bad. there were some big hooks and it was kinda grimey. i don't remember too much more than that, though.

we've played w/ Devin a couple of times. Get the cd, it's fantastic. The live show is a lot of fun too

I listened to a bit of it and found it really boring.

there's about five really good cuts on it. he doesn't have a huge range, singing-wise, so its a little tense the whole time. really exciting melodies at points, though.

read a bunch of good to glowing reviews of this. gambled on a half.com purchase today. :)

[edit: i find it ironic i recently lamented on how many singer-songwriter types i've acquired of late.]

www.cokemachineglow.com loves it.

The 3 mp3's on his site are good, not astounding.
