Sean McMahon & The Moon Men – Shiner

Shiner is casual and pleasant even in the sadder songs.

This album fits in very nicely in those hours when you can’t commit to a highly emotional song, it’s nothing too heavy or intense, and neither does it dare you to reach for notes outside the normal range.

Instead it coaxes and encourages, ‘you can sing this bit’ it says to the listener and ‘no pressure, here just have a listen’. Soak up the smile that lives inside the music. Playfully moving around their instruments, without dropping the vibe entirely, the smile becomes a peaceful one; contentedness spreads across the listeners face and throughout their being.

Shiner doesn’t ask much of the listener, just a few songs and a short time, in return the listener can expect their mood to rise a little. (SP)
