2014 album from the Indie singer/songwriter. Like Virginia Woolf's Orlando, Bart Davenport has seen many an era. He's been a Mod, a bluesman and a Soft Rock troubadour. Physical World is a culmination of all those incarnations and more. With shirts from the '60s, guitars from the '80s and the timeless voice of a real crooner, it's a one-of-a-kind hybrid of Paisley Pop and sweet Soul. One foot in reality, the other firmly planted in the fantasy world within the three minute Pop song, Bart tells of life and love in the modern world with sincerity and a subtle sense of humor.

West Coast singer/songwriter has been a lot of things over the course of his long career: a bluesy garage rocker, a retro-soul crooner, a folkie on his most recent solo album. What he does best, though, is '70s-tinged soft rock, and his 2014 album works incredibly well because it sticks closely to the soft sounds/sweet melodies/catchy songs formula of his best album (2003's ). Working with a small band that includes guitarist of, bassist, a couple of drummers, and keyboardist, gets a sound that's simple and direct, while still radiating warmth through the speakers like one of those lamps people use to fight seasonal affective disorder. His soothing vocals are the focus, as he floats through the songs like the reincarnation of some lost Laurel Canyon craftsman dropping nuggets of wistful wisdom and comforting broken hearts along the way. The band is right there with him at all times, 's guitar fills and leads are exemplary, and provides rich beds of synths and gentle electric piano vamping that give the songs some extra kick. The variety of sounds and styles the group explores on the album is impressive too, ranging from late-night ballads (the very -sounding 'Girl Gotta Way') and bouncy '80s radio pop ('Dust in the Circuits') to pulsing rockers that sound like if he were way more relaxed ('Vow'), and even a little politics on the most chill protest song of all time ('Fuck Fame'). Whatever strain of soft rock they try, and his able crew sound like they are having a blast playing and singing, and that feeling translates to the listener.
It makes the album a true pleasure to listen to, and gives a run for its money as 's best stuff yet.
