EXPERT RATING:

From AMG Reviews

Mark Dignam begins this album with a light and dreamy blend of pop and alt country on "Divine," which describes the track quite well. Coming from a crop of singer/songwriters who would include Josh Ritter and Josh Rouse, Dignam uses his strong timbre to nail each song to near perfection in the way Ryan Adams honed Gold. "Build" on the other hand is a kind of electroroots tune with a political message that ambles along easily thanks to Dignam's brilliant melody, a talent that the musician seems to create constantly. "Hope" is more radiofriendly in a pop mode and could be mistaken for the GoBetweens with the dual harmonies. Perhaps the lone effort that could be mildly disappointing is "Pinwheel" which seems like a patio pop tune in the vein of John Mayer. The miscue is atoned for with the gorgeous, precious and somewhat hymnlike "Ghosts" that has the singer downplaying the vocals in an almost monotone fashion à la a Celtic Lou Reed. The midtempo and infectious "Jane" could often be mistaken for a track by the Proclaimers, but Dignam gives it more bite here. Perhaps the highlight is "Kindred" which is a simple roots tune but with the singer opening up vocally and melodically. A close second, though, is the melancholic and very vivid "Deceiver" that is pure Americana from an Irish perspective. On the whole Box Heart Man is an album extremely wellcrafted and adventurous at the same time.
