Greg Laswell does an admirable job of making love songs sound a little less sappy. Three Flights From Alto Nido is a collection of endearing, sweet-sounding, piano & acoustic guitar-laced pop songs with lyrical premises ranging from new love, love lost, love and longing, and general love drama (amongst other love-like thematics). All the tracks are capsulated in sentimental (but not gushy), easy-to-enjoy, singer-songwriter pieces, and surprisingly, all the tracks are quite good. This is certainly not the "pump you up" album of the year, but it is definitely something to be enjoyed whilst in a mellow, reflective mood.For a sentimental introduction, listen to: "Comes and Goes (In Waves)," "How The Day Sounds" & "I'd Be Lying."

Oooh, I've been looking for some new background singer-songwriter acousticky mood music lately... does he sound like Jack Johnson at all? Because the more non-JJ, the better!
No on the JJ.
looking forward to Greg's new video.
I heard it's gonna be out in the next week or two.
What song will the video be for?
Just picked this up off eMusic. Thanks for the tip.
Well, as I wrote on Bargain Bin, let me know what you think when you get a chance to let this sink in.
We listened to the album this morning and I really like it! His voice kind of reminds me of Chris Martin from Coldplay. Good find!
