Trading Bolan for Buckingham after the glammy clamour of his 2007 Moonstation House Band debut, David Vandervelde's process not only loosens up to let in backing band The Lickety Splitz (D. Banhart & The Spiritual Boner, beware!) as opposed to Moonstation and follow-up EP Nothin' No's one-man affairs, but also allows the inspirational odometer to cruise to the later end of the '70s, with some of that aforementioned Mac magic exhumed for "Dreams" dead-ringer "I Will Be Fine". Sunrise's sepia-shaded direction lifts Vandervelde in league with heavy hitters like Iron And Wine, Vetiver and Gary Louris.
