    "Paul Simon" is great, but that's about everything you'd want to hear on this album. The rest ranges from just there to incredibly annoying, Fiery Furnaces I want to throw my mp3 player against the wall style. Hooks cease to be catchy and become annoying when they are underproduced, cloying, and repeated 87 times in a row. This album was made in a bedroom and it sounds like it.

    He has a few catchy hooks, but this is more noise than actual music. He could use a producer.

    An exuberantly echoing starburst of lo-fi twee-pop gone grand.

    Homespun creativity has rarely sounded bigger -- or better -- than it does on Our Thickness.

    If you haven't discovered the group yet, by all means snap up this lush slab of synth pop.
