Buva, the nom-de-solo project of Tom Wolfe, draws on the soft(er) pop of a bygone era, combining moments of Beach Boys harmonies and Beatles pre-Revolver pop without sounding sentimental or maudlin. The occasional strings reminds of the best moments of ELO. This isn`t to say Buva lacks its own identity. Wolfe has combined all of those influences into a sun-kissed collection of pop that reaches back, but pushes the soft(er) pop style forward. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (hi fi in motion records)
