English songwriter Stuart Newman is currently offering his album Single But Defective,which we previously reviewed for free download online. Described as “A Beatley Nick Drake” and said to have a sound in the same vein as Bon Iver, Elliott Smith, and Leonard Cohen, Newman offers a resonant, acoustic sound that is worth checking out. With lyrics that range from the quirky to the political, Single But Defective is “Thinking music, for the thinking music fan.”
