Daniel Moir - Road 3.5/5
At just 20 years old, Daniel Moir has already earned comparisons to the likes of fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Dan Mangan, but comparisons aside, the Edmonton native possesses talent well beyond his years. Road is an impressive introduction to Moir's skills as not only a musician but as a songwriter, capable of creating stories like that of "Halcyon Days", a gorgeous folk-pop song that is among the album's highlights.
With the help of producer Russell Broom, Jann Arden's former guitarist and producer, Road is a full realized record chalk full of guitars, string arrangements, pianos and banjos, that showcase the young musicians considerable talent. Though Moir still has room to grow into his vocal stylings, it's the youthful energy of songs like "The Leaving Song" and Moir's naivete that's most charming. Moir's youth plays to his strength given plenty of time for further growth as an artist, don't be surprised to find Moir's name one day listed on Polaris.
"Fruitless Journey"
