  Splendid E-zine reviews: Jason Falkner
Falkner's vocals are remniscent of Matthew Sweet, but somehow his accents are flatter and his voice is a shade deeper, which is definitely an improvement.
Falkner's themes aren't complex, and -- as befits an album of four-track recordings -- there's no unifying lyrical concept to tie the album up in a tidy package; it's a record of heartbreak and misunderstandings...your typical pop song fare.
Falkner keeps his instrumentation basic, too; guitars, bass, drums, occasional synth (in "She's Not the Enemy"), a steel-belly (in "Road Kill Blues") and one funky wind instrument that sounds like a bassoon ("Song for Her").

 The Oberlin Review \\ Arts Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Falkner is able to pull off singing, "So why am I down when there is life all around?" and still maintain the song's integrity and appeal through his vocal delivery and intricate, almost ethereal guitar work.
Falkner not only composed all of the music, but also plays all of the instruments on the album (save strings and woodwinds).
The multi-faceted Falkner has honed his craft to near perfection on this release, and yet this fact is never overbearing in the music.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Thomas Falkner
He was the son of Thomas Falkner, a Manchester apothecary, and obtained his education at the Manchester grammar school.
Berkeley of Spetchley, and here, in addition to his priestly labours, he wrote an account of his Patagonian experiences, which was published at Hereford in 1774 under the title "A Description of Patagonia and the adjoining parts of South America, with a grammar and a short vocabulary, and some particulars relating to Falkland's Islands".
Falkner was a man of a vigorous mind, well exercised in various points of science, and had he been allowed to tell his story in his own way, stored as his mind was with anecdotes and incidents, on which he delighted to dwell, we should have had from him an amusing and interesting performance.

 MWP: Murry C. Falkner (1899-1975)
Falkner, the only son of Murry and Maud not to change the spelling of the family name to "Faulkner," was not a professional writer like his brothers William or John, but after contributing several sketches to a compilation of personal memoirs on William Faulkner, he was asked to write a book of his own.
Falkner's memoir is significant as a basic source into the life of the Fa(u)lkner family, but it is revealing too as a historical artifact of life in the first half of the twentieth century.
In prose that is oftentimes genteel, at other times colloquial to the point of being humorous, Falkner paints a portrait of community, fellowship, and belonging.

Mining the vein of preceding pop gurus like The Beatles, Elvis Costello and XTC, Falkner slings ear-snagging melodies around in the crunchy guitar bounce and singalong sections of "Author Unknown," the drowsy dreamadelia of "Revelation," and the floating choruses of songs like "Eloquence," among others.
