Music reviews of Donavon Frankenreiter (Dig)
Music Review: Relaxed and Simple...
Rating: 4 Stars
On his debut cd, acoustic songwriter and beach bum Donovan Frankenreiter doesn't really bring anything new to the musical table. A lifelong surfer and good childhood friend of Jack Johnson, Frankenreiter's album feels more like a jam session between friends than a full-force, focused work of cohesive music. And Frankenreiter doesn't quite have the talent for melody that Johnson does. But Frankenreiter could care less -- he's too busy relaxing on the beach and strumming his guitar as the sun sets over the waves.
It's impossible to separate this album from it's two main influences -- Jack Johnson and the beach lifestyle, and both are very present on nearly every track (Johnson subsequently co-wrote the album's strongest song, the summery anthem "Free," and at times the voices of Frankenreiter and Johnson are indistinguishbly similar). The album is also heavily influenced by the sound of 60s and 70s pop, and the additon of an electric piano on most songs contributes to that and helps differ Frankenreiter from similar artists such as G-Love and, as mentioned, Jack Johnson.
Overall, the songs on the album have a very layered yet acoustic, poppy-feel in the vein of a modern-day Jimmy Buffett. If there's one complaint, it's that Frankenreiter really doesn't change his tone or vocal range from track to track. At all. This can get tedious and tiring if you're listening acutely to the cd straight-through. For background music during a day at the beach though, it's hard to beat this. And that's really all that Frankenreiter is shooting for.
