Review by Johnny Loftus
Melbourne's Tamas Wells doesn't share Jens Lekman's flair for self-deprecating humor. And the warm arrangements he and his band come up with make Mark on the Pane much less stark than the acoustic solitude of Kings of Convenience's Quiet Is the New Loud. But the melancholy and blind belief in romance that those artists possess is all over Wells' full-length debut. It's in his breathy, quiet singing, and the gentle guitar lines of "Even in the Crowds" or "Broken By the Rise"; it guides the gorgeous lullaby/love song sway of opener "When We Do Fail Abigail." Mark on the Pane feels more like a collection of moments than a cohesive album, despite the presence of two evocative instrumental segues in "Petit Mal at a Grand Occasion" and the aptly named "Seque in GM." Maybe it's the way Wells' supporting mates' contributions are limited to the subtlest brush of snare ("If You Bring Me Aubergines") or the quiet surge of a solemn organ ("Chandeliers"), putting the focus on his plaintive vocals and studied guitar — as bittersweet and beautiful as those elements are, they also make parts of Pane sound rather similar. Nevertheless, it's a wonderful debut with a clutch of unique, almost solemn melodies and enough lyrics about old photos and sad things coming in threes to make it comfort even the most melancholy of cockles.

个人评论:
这张专辑是我近几个月来听到的新专辑中,绝对可以列如前三的.平缓优美的旋律,没有什么激昂的东西,可是就这么平淡着,慢慢的渗透到我的内心.木吉他,配上简单的鼓点,偶尔用些钢琴做点缀,真的证明了往往最简单直接的东西才是最动人的.Tomas Wells从澳大利亚开始了自己的音乐事业,并且通过他的第1张唱片A Mark On The Pane让他在美国,英国,乃至日本都有属于他的听众.怎么说他的音乐风格呢?用独立方式制作出带着流行味道的民谣.虽然看起来有点矛盾,但仔细想想,却是很贴切的.首先,他的音乐制作程序和制作方式完全是属于独立范畴的.其次,他的音乐并非是属于另类的,而是朗朗上口,带着流行的气息.最后,他的音乐质朴的风味充满了民谣的气息.也因此,这样的形容完全合理.现在,你要做的,就是把它down到自己的硬盘中,慢慢体会这一份充满春天气息的温馨.
