Jeremy Gloff is an independent singer/songwriter who
self-releases his music on his Riotboy Records label. This is his eleventh collection of
songs, yet it's the first one I've ever heard, and I must say that it's a wonderful
introduction to his work. Gloff has constructed a great album that is packed full of
standard indie pop pieces. The songs themselves feature nothing new, but are thoroughly
enjoyable nonetheless. "Remembering," for example, is an upbeat, pleasant song
that is tinged with a pleasant country influence. Another track, "Sound of my
Crashing," adds piano to the mixture, forming a slow, sweet song that borders on
being marketable. Gloff owes a bit to Simon and Garfunkel, though, as
this song sounds a bit too much like "Sound of Silence," except with a decidedly
more R.E.M-ish quality to it. Altogether, Gloff has created a delightful
selection of pop songs that is far from classic, yet enjoyable all the same. 78%
