ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE | DENT MAY

11.6.17 Tell me this album cover doesn’t look like it was lifted off a late 70s early 80s pulp novel. The music within this airbrushed sleeve didn’t surprise me. What I mean to say is the album art and the contents within are spot on. The sound reminds me of later 70s early 80s ELO mixed with a little Beach Boys and some yacht rock… Speaking of yacht rock, I’m even hearing a little Rupert Holmes.       

Tim Sendra at Allmusic writes: The songs are all shot through with West Coast sunshine; even the most melancholy of them have warmth emanating from their centers. Partially, it's the lush arrangements that account for this, but really, May's winsome, winning vocals are the beating heart of the album. He's got a nice boy-next-door quality going on -- if the boy next door sounded like he passed his time singing duets with Muppets. . .
