Remember the guy at school that was effortlessly super-talented at anything he tried to do, flinging off Hendrix licks at the first attempt while you struggled to put together the chords for Smiths songs to a) – try and impress the girl b) – console yourself with the knowledge that Morrissey knew how you felt when she fucked you off? That guy was Alby Daniels. He's plays everything, and produces at 22. And unfortunately for 'This Dawn' he's stuck all his ideas in at once and made a bit of a mess. The mid-section on 'Her About Something' is beautiful – primeUKgarage driven by Daniels' smooth-as-peanut-butter vocal, but descends needlessly into a sub-Flying Lotus beats workout. 'VoodooHoliday' mixes tropicalia into dubstep, with a wistful vocal line underexposed as snippets in a melange of bass noises. 'Loss Of Ego' is almost throwaway – it's the 90 second tracks Boards Of Canada used to intersplice their 7-minute epics on their first 2 LPs – there's little to it, but ironically it holds together as a piece of music better than anything else here. There's probably an LP's worth of ideas in three tracks on 'This Dawn' – time will tell if this is noodle for it's own sake, or if Daniels can harness his undoubted promise into something exciting.
