A multi-instrumentalist who can swagger, write, croon, jiggle and sing, with a sense of humour too? Surely not. But yes, this is Stoney. The songs on the album are stylistically diverse and often fiercely inventive. You can hear everyone from Bowie to Suede in his influences, but he has his own voice within that melange. In a heavily over-hyped market Stoney is the real deal. As a debut album it's phenomenonally assured and so satisfying to listen to. Beck you can dance to. Love your ears and buy it.
