Backseat Mafia Hails Patrick Watson’s “Gentle, Clever Beauty”

Backseat Mafia describes Patrick Watson‘s new three-song EP a “gentle, clever beauty… Made with vocalist Teresa Salguerio, the triptych consists of the beautiful duetted Portuguese-language fragment, ‘Se tu soubesses’ (‘If you knew’); a centerpiece of swooning orchestral lusciousness, the title track, ‘A Mermaid In Lisbon,’ as romantic as modern, recherché, intelligent pop could ever strive to be; and a closing serenade, the more leftfield, emotional electronica grace of ‘Can’t Stop Staring At The Sun.'” Read the review and hear the collection here.
