Island of Dreams
5 stars
Playful and original, Island of Dreams is the brainchild of Josh McIlvain, renowned New York/Philly singer/songwriter. The songs are sophisticated, dramatic and smart, with lyrics to match - moods better suited to an Updike novel than a pop record. And while McIlvain's voice is eerily reminiscent of Steve Perry's (anybody remember Cherry Poppin' Daddies?) and by no means gorgeous, he genuinely sings the crap out of the tunes, and the almost mocking quality of his voice will strike a strong chord with the embittered wise man in every listener.--Kevin Keating, Origivation Magazine April 2006.
