The ivories-stroking whiz (formerly of Happiness Machine) is quietly compiling a fine solo repertoire with a rotating roster of instrumentalist friends backing his well-wrought passages on piano, organ and keyboards. The result is like a blend of warm ’70s AM rock and soul music filtered through a Technicolor lens, vibrant, lush and kind of groove-warped, too. His falsetto-reaching wails and deeper resonant croons are an added bonus. jdavis.bandcamp.com
