Description:
"If The Ocean Gets Rough continues Willy`s worldview of underclass realism. These are well-travelled songs with dust behind their ears. Written on tour and recorded with his family in a small no frills studio only adds to the image of cottage industry `keeping it real`. His mum even steps up on backing vocal duties. There`s no major change here in either instrumentation (still acoustic) or song matter (quirky tales of small town/big themes). Fans of Bright Eyes, The Magic Numbers and M Ward should pay attention..." -- Andy Petch-Jex, musicomh.com (Astralwerks)
