All Smiles, aka Jim Fairchild of Grandaddy and Modest Mouse fame, has released his second full-length, "Oh For The Getting And Not Letting Go" (Small Aisles)!
Critics are already crowing about how great the record is--but, in the immortal words of LeVar Burton, you don't have to take their word for it. Thanks to the folks at MySpace, the album is featured smack dab on the front of their music page, so you can hear the entire thing there
"It's the kind of album I wanted to share with everyone right after I first heard it.....Fairchild is incredibly talented in his own right."--NPR "All Songs Considered"
"....it's constantly in my head. Constantly....the record in question, Oh, For The Getting And Not Letting Go, comes out on June 30. It's crammed full of melodies and ornate arrangements, cinematic soundscapes and thumping beats." --Music For Robots
"...the album sounds like a warm audio scrapbook, evoking not just Grandaddy, but Elliott Smith in both hushed and full-blare modes, John Lennon's psychedelic Rolls-Royce, and the spiraling but pop-friendly guitars of Built to Spill. " --Portland Mercury
