"The headlong skip of "Dawn Upon" is typical, its happy quick-step framing a tale of a man tormented by moonlit visions of a lost love. "Two Steps Ahead", with low-slung bass and '60s handclaps, is similarly sprightly, as is the Byrds-lite strum of "How Could He?" Underneath the summer demeanour, though, lurks a weather-beaten heart."-Uncut

“Prisoner Of” was featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered and on the walk-in playslist for a Bruce Springsteen tour.
