Quietly muddling away Daniel Johnston-like, the average Gentle William record has all the eeriness and naivety you could want in one package, as reminiscent of Yann Tiersen’s work as it is the adolescent peculiarity of Smiley Smile. Gentle William’s skewed musical sketches radiate an enchanting warmth, blissfully bereft of worldly strife.

Like the soundtrack to some scratched up, silent Chaplin movie, every second is a testement to personal bewilderment as much as the joyful realisation that everything might just turn out well.
