shawn hewitt
if i had this entire album, i would go back and edit my end of year list and this would be in my top 5. this dude is absolutely incredible. AND I CAN'T FIND HIS FUCKING DEBUT ALBUM ANYWHERE. literally the only place i could find it online is amazon and it's a 22 dollar import. i may suck it up and order it today, cause this is seriously one album i don't want to be without any longer than i have to.
after reading a lot about shawn yesterday, i noticed comparisons ranging from (mostly) radiohead/thom yorke to rufus wainright to stevie wonder to maroon 5 and tv on the radio. none of which are without their merit. he's really managed to find a niche somewhere between indie and soul. and it's an amazing, amazing sound.

Why can't you find it? He is on a label isn't he?
yup. EMI canada. and they don't have it in stock on their site. i was surprised amazonmp3 or itunes didn't have it. i'm just gonna order the import from amazon.
- panda
he's available on the canadian itunes store :D nah that don't help you
Hmmm...seems odd because the album just came out, no?
Something is off.
i think he has a canada only distribution deal
yo'if you still haven't got this ...hola
