I first heard Seth Horan when he played at a local coffee shop. He is a bass player, which seems an odd choice of instrument for a singer/songwriter, but he also doesn't play bass like most people. He plays a six string bass and through the use of two hand tapping, harmonics and chord work makes it sound like drum and guitar accompaniment. He has a good voice and a great sense of humor, so he's great to see live. I purchased the album the second time I saw him as it was n the works the first time. He comes through town every year for the NAMM show.
The album is great, with the only letdown being that he uses additional instruments. I know that may sound a little odd, but his virtuosity is a lot of what makes his music so great, and it can get lost amongst a fuller arrangement. That being said, this is the album that I have people listen to as an example of modern pop music that showcases actual talent and depth. I highly recommend attending a concert of his. You can find out if he's playing near you at his page on reverbnation.com and clicking on the SHOWS tab. You can listen to clips of his album at cdbaby.
