After departing Midnight Youth in 2012, Jeremy Redmore went on to host some travel show which did the rounds on Air NZ – an awful image is already forming, band frontman-turned-globetrotting lone-wolf strumming his acoustic guitar for weary travelers and boozed up backpackers. This is not helped by the fact Redmore seems to mine the same nonpartisan singer-songwriter surfer vibe of Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz on the verses for ‘Bad Philosophy’, accompanied by a wordless hum which had me searching for Elliott Smith’s sign-off From A Basement On A Hill instead for comfort. With that said, I like how he brings things home, weaving some additional guitar, piano and a thin flourish of horns in an all embracing swoop – much like Midnight Youth, anthemic and inoffensive. Kinda sounds like Spoon on the chorus too
