Fact #117786

It makes sense that Malin’s name tends to get mentioned alongside company that includes Bruce Springsteen, Ryan Adams and Gogol Bordello, because his style encompasses elements of good old-fangled rock penmanship with a more contemporary citizen-of-the-world perspective. Opener The Dreamers is a disappointingly plodding piano-ballad, but once he gets into his uptempo stride with cuts like Addicted, Oh Sheena and Freeway, things really perk up. His quirky rhyme of 'Ohio' with 'denial' in the angular She Don’t Love Me Now, The Cars-like riff of Deathstar and Peter Buck's Byrdsy guitar jangle in I Would Do It For You are just two of the many delights on offer.
