"Peel Back the Sun" by Mike Kovacevich is a very enjoyable and creative medley of styles and sounds - A little rock, a little funk, a little pop and some experimentation. Mike's voice has a nice rock quality with a folky undertone. The arrangements are complete and the sound is full. Overall this album is well thought out, well produced and artsy to give it a unique yet enjoyable quality. Think of it as well-written catchy and relevant songs with very effective, creative, and professional production that brings out the most of the songs. The musicianship is very high on this CD as well. Highlights are "Apple". It has a really cool "fade-in" intro. "Reboot" has some cool organic and human sounds. "Excuses Lie" introduces a bit of a country element, cool vocal harmony and a nice flow to it. If you like the creativity and styles of artists such as Beck or Peter Gabriel, you will enjoy this one - It's definitely worth a listen.
