Sheppard – Bombs Away

Sheppard – Bombs Away

Sheppard’s debut album Bombs Away is very uplifting. Its range of emotions is imbued with hope and possibility, especially Smile, which has particular warmth radiating from it.

Tracks such as Find Someone, with a touch of angst, and Lingering, with a sense of hope despite pain, combine guitar or tambourine and piano with skillful songwriting that pulls up the corners of the mouth.

Sheppard’s mix of undercurrent rock with pure pop is a potent blend to the delighted ear. Deliciously sweet with a hint of sour, it’s very easy to overdo it when listening to this album. (SP)
