Any time you read about Nathan Lawr, the phrase "singing-drummer" is sure to not be far behind (see?). But it's with good reason, as for a time Lawr was one of the best and most versatile drummers in the Guelph/Toronto indie community. But his transformation into a singer-songwriter, so unexpected eight years ago, is what has made him truly special. Even better, A Sea Of Tiny Lights subtly integrates his significant rhythmic knowledge in a way that previous solo efforts had not. After waiting for what felt like an eternity (Sea was released in October '07), we've finally got this fine album on hand.
