If you've been brought up on a diet of singer-songwriters, from James Taylor through Paul Simon to Sting and Suzanne Vega, you should investigate Teitur. 'Poetry And Aeroplanes' is full of rich imagery, fine playing and production faery-dust from Rupert Hine. It's an album that demands repeat listenings.

'Sleeping With The Lights On' and 'You're The Ocean' are infectious, but Teitur is most effective on the more acoustic offerings such as the beautiful title track with its subtle string arrangement and tracks like 'Josephine' where his plaintive voice accompanies bared-down acoustic guitar. Tales of love, life and loneliness is what this CD is all about. Worth taking a chance on.
