Dan Kennedy – Seems Like Forever
"Seems Like Forever," Dan Kennedy's second solo release on Slothtrop, is an eclectic continuation of the panoptic pop featured in his collaborations with winsome singer-songwriter Amy Curl, the songs now tinged with blues, soul, and jazz. Influences break the surface constantly—a bit of Robert Cray here, a little Lyle Lovett there, maybe a touch of Los Lobos if you listen carefully—but they're always tempered with his own voice. "I often try to write for other performers," says Dan, "but it usually comes out sounding like me in the end."

Monomania kicks off with lead single "Holding On," a devotional to the tenacity of love. "Rock Candy!" glitters with girl-group nostalgia over retro riffs, and "Silver Shoes" is pop-punk perfection. Monomania is full of dynamic organs, powerhouse vocals, and catchy-as-hell choruses that beg car stereos to crank it.

On Might Be Found, Finkel's songs glimmer with a unique optimism that shines in his songcraft and delivery, showcasing not only the breadth of Finkel's talent, but also his growth as a songwriter
