 Who?18-year-old Jordan Palmer is Hello, Astronaut, an upbeat optimist project reminiscent of This Love or even Never Shout Never and Weatherstar. How Is It? Hello, Astronaut’s second EP, The Only One, breeds from infectious pop melodies and catchy sentimental acoustic tunes. Evident throughout the opening “The Best She’ll Ever Get,” this EP is a quick contagious ride. After this initial taste of Palmer, “Say Goodbye” continues with a Never Shout Never feel before launching into another addictive tune, “The Only One.” The title track continues in vain of “Goodbye” while “When She Leaves” adds a nice acoustic stripped-down touch to the EP. Exemplifying Hello, Astronaut’s softer side, this penultimate track stands out most amongst these songs, as Palmer’s vocals simply shine. Closer “So Unpredictable” begins with a catchy guitar melody picking the pace up. This final track ends The Only One appropriately – it’s another heartfelt tune proving Palmer’s abilities to tell a love story. While The Only One may be marked as unoriginal, Palmer is definitely able to bring a piece of his soul into each track, making each song slightly more diverse than the preceding track. His lyrics need work, but the kid’s vocals unquestionably work well amid his sound. Just fresh out of high school, the future is undoubtedly gleaming with possibilities for Hello, Astronaut....full text |

| Proving once again you need neither an actual band nor a record label these days, Hello Astronaut is the nom de plume of 18-year-old multi-instrumentalist Jordan Palmer, and The Only One, his second release, is a confident, richly melodic and heartfelt affair. Palmer has progressed dramatically since 2009’s Paper! Snow! A Ghost! EP, which was a distinctly bedroom lo-fi affair full of acoustic guitar, piano, bleeping analog synths and Auto-Tuned vocals. This time around, his songs get the full-band treatment, and it’s an altogether more rocking affair with big, clean production really pushing everything to the fore. In making this leap he has inevitably lost some of the intimate charm that suffused the previous release, but he has compensated for this in stronger songwriting and lush arrangements. The Only One’s sound embraces the dynamic hooks of Dashboard Confessional and the nostalgic undertones of Cute Is What We Aim For, or even Sweden’s the Last Days Of April. At times, it becomes a little too saccharine for its own good—as on the chorus of the Jack Johnson-esque “Say Goodbye”—but it doesn’t detract from the fact that this the kind of album sure to burst thousands of teenage hearts. Über-catchy opener “The Best She’ll Ever Get” is the kind of song that demands to be played in a big open space, and closer “So Unpredictable” is radio-rock nirvana, giving a damn good tug on the heartstrings. If anything is holding Palmer back it’s that he doesn’t really stick out from the crowd in any notable way, and every track invites comparison with other artists. But this isn’t to say he doesn’t have potential, and The Only One could very well be a stepping stone to far greater things....full text |
