Tim Myer’s single “The Good Life” was featured on a previous post. Now that I have his full EP with the addition of 4 more songs, I can declare that this California native is no flash in the pan. Both his commercial singles “The Good Life” and “A Beautiful World” have been popping up on TV and more material keeps flowing out (see the video below). The remaining tracks on the EP include the Coldplay via Beatles tune “On Your Side” with a great hook and the slightly trippy Mex-pop of “Magic” with some nice horn work. The folk ballad “Remember When” includes a sweet duet with Schuyler Fisk. I wanted to hear more so I listened to some tracks from his earlier EP “Revolution” which takes on a more Lennonesque quality. On “West Virginia” the piano resonates and Tim seems to channel both Chris Martin and John Mayer here. Other ballads are nearly that good, but missing any of the optimism I heard in “The Good Life.” Both are good EPs showing the sunny/dark contrasts of Myers moods. No doubt he has the talent and material to put together a great full length album — it’s something I will be looking forward to.
