Dimenna, J - Awkward Buildings

With one ear to the ground, the other to the sky, always observing humanity with a sideways smile and a fist, here comes J DiMenna. Awkward Buildings is an album that Dr. Dave Bowman's son would have been listening to on his headphones, waiting for an aeroplane. Awkward Buildings is so genuine and sweetly convincing that one is continually surprised to discover a stiletto's edge revealed a little more with each listening. DiMenna's lyrical sense of metaphor and his sheer musicality weaves throughout the record's string arrangements, riding the beat, abruptly stunning the listener with a well placed turn of barely-resolved cadence, or a sudden dissonance that appears and passes through each song like a dark cloud.
