This is Stephen Lawrenson`s second album, after the excellent debut
"Every Summer".An homage to many favorites from the 70s on many levels,
in particular, Jeff Lynne/ELO on a lot of the trax here. "Yet another
melodically accomplished pop maestro flying criminally under the radar,
Pennsylvania singer/songwriter Stephen Lawrenson`s second album finds a
guitar pop classicist just entering his prime. Lawrenson picks up on a
million anglophile bits, from late-period Beatles to Crowded House to the
latter-day Paisley Pop/Not Lame stable of stars, but his songs are far
too smart and savvy to bow to mere imitation. Somewhere Else, successful
on everything from lugubrious ballads to sharp, taut riff-happy rockers
--a perfect exemplar of which is "Faith In You," a killer tune - it is a sly power
pop gem." - Pop Culture Press.
""Faith In You" and "Hey!" are both Smash Palace-like! "He combines
early Beatle ballad-isms with the more lush, full-bodied territory mined
by Richard X. Heyman and Mark Johnson. Each song is warm and engaging,
with harmonies and cool chord changes that kinda sneak up on you." -
David Bash, founder of International Pop Overthrow. VERY Highly
Recommended!
