The kind of place his music inhabits is that which is favoured by the John Rzezniks of this world - slick, commercially appealing pop-rock. The three tracks I've heard do what they do very well - they take something universal and say it with radio-ready grace. The instrumentation on all three is strong (although, given his strong voice, may've sounded better slightly more minimal as on Choking On Menthol, a pre-Tilt demo). Home - the lead single - is, as you would expect, the shiniest of the three, but also the least interesting. Monsters is a better song - it has more texture but retains the southern-influenced pop aesthetic that Home hints at. Bring Your Love Back Home is also very strong, more percussion-heavy than the previous two, adding a satisfying weight to what is a very laid-back, gentle song.
Tilt is released on the 28th of February although there are some songs of his on YouTube right now, including the single Home.
