Greg Laswell does an admirable job of making love songs sound a little less sappy. Three Flights From Alto Nido is a collection of endearing, sweet-sounding, piano & acoustic guitar-laced pop songs with lyrical premises ranging from new love, love lost, love and longing, and general love drama (amongst other love-like thematics). All the tracks are capsulated in sentimental (but not gushy), easy-to-enjoy, singer-songwriter pieces, and surprisingly, all the tracks are quite good. This is certainly not the "pump you up" album of the year, but it is definitely something to be enjoyed whilst in a mellow, reflective mood.For a sentimental introduction, listen to: "Comes and Goes (In Waves)," "How The Day Sounds" & "I'd Be Lying."
