Goodwin's burnished blend of downbeat domestic poetry and cracked, acoustic beauty, calls to mind the West Coast 'sadcore' of Red House Painters, American Music Club and Idaho, while never losing sight of its uniquely personal and British origins. Recorded in a day with minimum fuss and few overdubs, the album also features cameo appearances from Peter Chilvers and Sandra O'Neill (Alias Grace). Paul Goodwin's impressive Burning Shed debut offers late night sounds par excellence.
