Park Bench Theories is an album by Jamie Scott and the Town, released in 2007.[4][5]
Production
Scott was backed by the band Travis, minus frontman Fran Healy.[6]
Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "the album's most powerful weapon is Scott himself, whose wondrous jazz-soul tones, part John Mayer, part Jeff Buckley, part Stevie Wonder, are able to elevate the occasionally bland and samey production into an engaging listen."[2] The Guardian called the album "something of a supper-club Blood On The Tracks, being a series of diary entries about Scott's ugly bust-up with his ex-missus."[6] The Irish Independent wrote that "superb echoey piano keys, accompanied by haunting string arrangements, make 'Shadows' the album's standout track."[3]
