Dude! Have you ever wished you could take like two of your favorite things and smoosh them together to make something even more awesome? MEE TOOO!!! Or, in this case, something in the same vein that might not be AS awesome but is close enough?
Shuman the Human is what I can only speculate (obviously…) may have happened if an Emmylou Harris & Gram Parsons obsessed Syd Barrett had befriended Belle and Sebastian and The Beachwood Sparks while snacking on graham crackers and apple juice. In my mom’s basement. After school. In 1992.
I mean, as with everything, I’ve heard better: but new music is always fun, especially when it’s good and undiscovered. Plus, this guy’s mum fronted her baby with the cash to put out the record so if you don’t exactly like it you’re now at least guilted into fronting the $16 or so green-and-pink backs to buy it. Unless you’re a cold-hearted shrew.
