Soltero: You're No Dream (La Société Expéditionnaire)

Soltero: You're No Dream (La Société Expéditionnaire) -  Soltero is Tim Howard, a troubadour with a knack for penning forlorn yet clever laments about insecure people struggling with regret and broken relationships.  The singular recording was made amid his travels in Pennsylvania, France and New York.  I suppose that brought inspiration for the unusual imagery, while those days in Philadelphia channeled the doo wop influences.  Musically, the sound is timid, sparse, atmospheric, and stripped down.  RIYL: Silver Jews, Stephin Merritt.  Recommended.
