As one of the principle songwriters and singers with the Rheostatics, Martin Tielli has been responsible for the creation of an acclaimed body of musical work that is diverse and intriguing. His first solo album is a lovely collection of intricate, textured songs that features Martin's introspective side and his charming, understated vocals.
