At first blush, Montreal's Jon Davis' soft, gentle and most intimate vocals recall those of Nick Drake, his sombre soundscapes, moving the deeply personal lyric into a very personal place. His recently released debut, Golden Hue, reveals an artist who enjoys giving the listener's emotions a bit of a workout. Whether his voice delivers flashes of Kenny Rankin, Drake or even, on occasion, Chris Martin (Coldplay) at his most introspective, this is not the point. Jon Davis has created a debut that deserves immediate attention -- not to serve as company for those dark and rainy days as much as to provide a soundtrack for coming out on the other side.
