"...Dylan Menzie makes a definite impression with his music. This young fellow has a sound that is simultaneously unique and familiar. These songs feature intelligent lyrics and nice winding melodies. And Menzie has a voice that really makes his songs hit home. This guy is obviously headed on a quick path to success." - babysue The album, produced and recorded by award-winning producer Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, Fortunate Ones, Oh Pep!), showcases Menzie's fervor towards big sounds, charismatic turns of phrases, and persistent pop leanings.
