Some of bravecaptain's early material was definitely underrated, and it's hard to imagine a
better testament to the disorientation of going indie just as the industry implodes around
you (no money, no recognition, no real assessment of your worth) than, say, 2000's "Go With
Yourself". Martin Carr was arguably the songwriter most equipped to chronicle that half-
chosen adventure into obscurity, and his shitty vocals more often than not just added
poignancy to the mix. By this album though, the poignancy had pretty much worn off. Want to
hear a bad singer wreck a potentially great alt-folk song? Check "Every Word You Sound".
Wonder why "Good Life" >>> everything else on the record? Because Sice is singing it, with
Martin contributing muted off-key backing vocals like in the good old days of Creation when
a good paycheck could make ace songwriters understand when they should defer frontman status
to people with range.
