The Review:

Hailing from Sydney Australia, Jamison Young’s latest effort on the Nautilus Music label, Shifting Sands of a Blue Car has a nice blend of folk, techno, retro and even some progressive moments which really defies categories for the mainstream world. Although not complex, the music here, unlike most mainstream artistc shows off new sounds with a very fresh aprroach. Jamison could be a beacon of hope for the mainstream world that wants something slightly different that already served. This is a nice bridge between progressive and commericalised music. Highly recommended for fan’s of such artsts as Peter Gabriel, Sting and Elton John to name a few.
