Here We Are is an excellent singer/songwriter debut with enough personality to hold your attention and sufficient quality to hold up well, even after repeated listens. Its meaty electric guitar and surreal atmospheric sound washes, anchored by a solid drumbeat, provide a backdrop to thought-provoking lyrics. Chris Robertson evokes Deep Blue Something or True Love in his command of the classic two-pronged attack: the bombast of his huge choruses takes hold, while his subtler, more atmospheric gestures will soak in and permeate your brain. Not every song is perfect, but Robertson's world-weary yet aggressive voice will keep your interest piqued.
