Father/Daughter Records
Pop/Rock
Lukas Mayo's fourth album has a disarmingly bittersweet, lullaby-like quality despite being rigorously sampled and edited.

Although English folk elements abound, this is really a hard rock showcase on a par with -- and perhaps even more aggressive than -- anything on Aqualung.
