Dave Helgi Johan has spent over a decade performing with numerous bands. He was originally from Winnipeg, Canada, growing up in an Icelandic settler-origin village. However, he moved to Byron Bay, Australia, in 2019 to better his musical career. Whilst this collection is a relatively modest affair, Johan’s knack for a cracking melody, his adept production and his knowing sense of humour make for a really enjoyable listen. A lo-fi feel is prevalent, but Johan has spent a lot of time at his various computers and in the studio to ensure this sounds a very polished affair. Whilst listening, there was a distinct feeling of the solo material that Katrina and the Waves guitarist Kimberley Rew has released over the years – a major compliment, as these are brilliant albums.
