This guy offered to buy me a beer if I’d meet him to talk about his music. I didn’t take him up on it (though it would have been easy since he lives down the street from me) due to my rigorous code of journalistic ethics. I can’t be bought! Though I can be seduced and that’s exactly what happened with this quiet set of reflective tunes about assorted urban ailments. (Terence Dick)
